Go Blue! We Need Your Help To Increase Recycling!

Posted June 19th, 2012

We need you help!  After a two-year reduction in our refuse tonnage the Town has seen an increase back up and a reduction in the amount our residents are recycling.  Please continue to recycle!  Recycling can directly reduce costs to the Town of Tolland.  Through 10 months of FY2012 we have seen a 7.4% increase in refuse tons and a 7.9% decrease in the amount of recycling tons compared to the prior year.  Please keep recycling!  Click here to see refuse and recycling numbers!
