Orange Receives State Funds for its Recycling Program

Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) today announced that seven communities are being awarded a total of $45,000 in grants to enhance local waste reduction, reuse, and recycling programs.

“These seven communities have already demonstrated a real commitment to a 21st century materials management strategy,” said DEEP Commissioner Robert Klee. “With the support of this new grant funding, these cities and towns can move forward to further reduce the volume of trash we dispose of and put to productive use more of the discarded materials found in our waste stream.”
