Town of Bristol
♻️ TODAY WE ARE CELEBRATING THE Town of Bristol! ♻️
Bristol is one of 5 communities participating in our Solid Waste Advisory Team (SWAT) program, focused on improving their transfer station in specific, impactful ways. Bonnie and Heather, our Member Services Reps, along with a variety of other local recycling operators and experts, have had the opportunity to visit Bristol twice to see what's working and what they're improving. It's really exciting and rewarding work - from the beautiful blue horizontal baler, to the smart cardboard slot (so residents flatten their cardboard prior to recycling) - there's a lot to celebrate! Just look at those GREAT cardboard bales!!
SMALL ACTIONS, BIG OUTCOMES!
Bristol residents know recycling is worth it! In 2021, they recycled over 5 TONS OF TIRES, diverting them from the landfill or incinerator. By recycling tires back into raw material, they saved the energy equivalent of burning 2,134 POUNDS OF COAL from being burned!
Great Job, Bristol! Your ongoing dedication to recycling is AWESOME!!
