What’s In, What’s Out:  An overview of how to keep the recycling stream clean 

With Sherill Baldwin from Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, and Members of the B’nai Israel Green Team

Please join the B’nai Israel Green Team on Zoom (see weekly email for Zoom link) to learn all about recycling and a general overview of acceptable materials in CT’s mixed recycling program, including: what goes in the bin, what stays out, should we still recycle, and the impact of China’s National Sword on Connecticut’s recycling programs. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.

Ms. Baldwin’s current projects include the RecycleCT Foundation, CT WRAP initiative and product stewardship programs.
