With the closure of key waste-to-energy facilities and no landfill capacity, Connecticut is facing a growing waste crisis.

A key focus of Tammy’s talk will be on the importance of “Recycling Right”— understanding what belongs in the recycling bin and how contamination undermines the process. Learn how small changes in behavior can lead to big improvements in recycling efficiency and environmental outcomes.
