CCM and the Housatonic Resources Recovery Authority are excited to partner for a six part series, Waste Management and Recycling in Connecticut. 

This series will provide an education on the basics of what’s currently happening to Connecticut's waste and recycling, how it is managed, where it is going, and what capacity currently is available. 

These trainings will serve as a tool to help Connecticut leaders begin to look towards the future of creating a sustainable waste management system.

Over the last several series the conversation of government collection vs private industry has weaved through each discussion.  Municipalities often struggle with “Not In My Backyard” debates.  What about the “What’s In It For Me” how private industry often pushes the cost onto Municipalities leaving towns against a wall?  

How can EPR give Municipalities the financial relief needed to keep the system going?  Hear from a private hauler and municipal leader from a success EPR program on the other side of the border.  Canada has a successful EPR program that has kept collection systems in place yet shifted the cost burden to the manufactures and producers.
