NEW RECYCLING TIPPER BARRELS
Dear Enfield Resident:
It is my pleasure to deliver your new blue tipper barrel for use in single-stream recycling beginning on January 3, 2012. The Town of Enfield is switching to automated, bi-weekly, recycling collection. All recyclables can be mixed together in one barrel. It’s that simple!
Please read the following information to better understand how to participate in this new and exciting recycling program:
· Recyclables will be collected every other week on the same day as your trash is collected beginning January 3rd. A 12-month recycling calendar is included which indicates whether your collection is on the “A” or “B” week.
· A list of recyclable materials is included with this packet. Simply mix all recyclable materials together in the blue barrel, close the lid and wheel it to the curb for collection.
· Please place the recycling barrel with the front of the lid facing the street and provide at least three feet of space between your recycling and garbage barrels on collection day.
· Garbage should be placed in the gray barrel and it will continue to be collected every week on your normal collection day.
· You may keep your old recycling bin or place it at the curb on your trash collection day and the Town will collect it that week. You can also drop it off at the Town’s transfer station. Please do NOT put the old recycling bin in the new recycling barrel.
Additional information on recycling is available on the Town’s website at www.enfield-ct.gov. If you have any questions about this program you may also call (860) 763-7560.
Each ton of recyclable materials taken out of the trash stream saves the Town of Enfield money. By recycling, you help to reduce the cost of trash disposal and create a better environment for you and your family.
Thank you for your cooperation. Remember: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!
Sincerely,
Matthew W. Coppler
Town Manger

Guess Where Dave is:
(all fields are required)
Beginning with the October 5 edition of the Enfield Press, the Town of Enfield will begin a series, Where in Enfield is Dave Tuttle? Dave Tuttle is Assistant Director of Public Works and regularly sees numerous items residents throw away as solid waste rather than recycling these items. The purpose is to promote how important and easy it is to recycle.
Each week for eight weeks, a photo of Dave, at an Enfield location, will be published in the Enfield Press. Enfield residents are encouraged to guess where in Enfield the photo of Dave was taken. At the end of the eight weeks, residents can enter their guess here on our webiste or for those residents who do not have online access, they can submit their guess on a 3x5 postcard mailed to the Town of Enfield, 820 Enfield Street, Enfield, CT 06082, Attention D. McCarthy. Postcard submissions must include name, address and phone number as well as the location and date the photo was published.
Everyone who guesses all eight locations correctly will be entered into a drawing for a $100.00 restaurant gift certificate. Contest is for Enfield residents only, one entry per person.
