The city of Hartford, Conn. will introduce a new pilot program called “Go Green Use Blue.”
The program will include using single-stream recycling project, and will work in conjunction with RecycleBank’s incentive program. Single stream means houses get one one collection container for all paper, glass, metal and plastic recyclables. The materials then get separated and sold to buyers.
To begin in May, the project will be open to around 5,000 households in the city. These residents will receive a 64-gallon cart, where all the recyclables will be deposited.
Hartford will be the first community in the nation to benefit from the National Recycling Partnership’s grant program, and you can read more about it here.
