Good news for the people of Canterbury! With the purchase of the new baler, we can now recycle more plastic at the Transfer Station. With a few exceptions, all plastics with recycle numbers 1-7 can now be recycled. Exceptions are “clamshell” containers and black plastic (the optics can’t see them on black conveyor belts.)

If you have any question whether what you bring is recyclable, please ask an attendant. There is a visual poster that clearly shows what can and cannot be recycled. It’s also on the town website.

Help us reduce what we send to the incinerator! Recycle what you can!! Also, please put only paper that can be torn into the paper trailer and refrain from putting in tissues or paper towels/cups/plates and any other household waste.
