Milford's Single-Stream Recycling Program: Let's Make it Successful!

The city of Milford will officially launch a new single-stream recycling program on August 1^st. As I have walked around the city talking to my fellow Milford residents, I’ve discovered that there are still many unanswered questions about this new program. Seniors are especially concerned about the size and manageability of the new bins, and are worried about how they will maneuver the 96-gallon containers through the snow and sleet that we will undoubtedly have to contend with this winter.

Due to the influx of questions and concerns, I want to do my part to make sure that the transition goes as smoothly as possible. To that end, I am reaching out to my fellow citizens in order to learn more about your thoughts on the single-stream recycling program. I encourage all residents to provide me with their feedback – please take a moment to fill out my online survey at: www.blakeformilford.com/survey

We are excited to launch this new single-stream service which will save money for our city, reduce waste, and make us a “greener” community, but in order for this program to be completely successful every household will need to participate. Therefore we will need to make sure all the questions and concerns are quickly addressed. It’s imperative that this program works for everyone.

Together we can make the implementation of this promising new program a success for all of Milford’s residents.
