Three members will take the truck to Bow while one member remains at the Transfer Station to hand out brochures and give directions

The committee talked about starting a recycling program in the school. We will try to get a person from the Northeast Resource Recovery Association to talk at the next recycling meeting. The committee will look into possible incentives for the school for their recycling efforts.

The committee also spoke about having mandatory recycling in all town buildings. This will go through the Board of Selectman and they will notify the departments regarding this.

The committee also talked about the “Pay as you Throw” program.

The Recycling Committee will next meet on November 6^th at the Dunbarton Transfer Station at 7:00pm.
