Description
Learn about recycling in the town of Fairfield, including what goes in the bin and what stays out, and the impact China’s National Sword policy (banning certain waste materials) will have on recycling in Connecticut. Sherill Baldwin of the CT DEEP will lead this program. Sherill facilitated the creation of a universal list of acceptable recyclables in Connecticut and the Sustainable Fairfield Task Force has used this to create a custom version for the Town of Fairfield. The list will be shared at the talk or can be found under recycling FAQs on the Town of Fairfield website.
Presenter Sherill Baldwin has been involved in sustainable materials management for over 30 years and has been with DEEP since 2008. Her current projects include the RecycleCT Foundation, CT WRAP initiative and product stewardship programs. She received an MS in Resource Development from Michigan State University and a BA in Solid Waste Management from UMASS/Amherst
