Mark Bancroft is at it again, spreading the word on how the town's residents can and should take advantage of the single stream recycling initiative the town implemented last summer.

When I stopped by the Town Hall on Wednesday, Mark handed me a nifty pamphlet that outlines what is and what isn't acceptable recycling items.

Here's the run down of the stuff you can chuck:

coat hangers

metal & aluminum cans

phone books

junk mail

paperback books, newspapers, magazines and catalogs, office paper/folders

empty arosol cans

clean aluminum foil and clean aluminum plates

paper egg cartons

plastic bottles and tubs #1-7

paper milk and juice cartons

class bottles (all colors)

shoe and cereal boxes

metal pots and pans

Here's a list of unacceptable recycling items:

plastic bags

garden hoses

light bulbs

needles and syringes

paper towels

styrofoam food containers

Mayor John Rodolico poked fun at Mark, calling him the "Garbage Czar" and said if anyone knows about garbage, it's Mark.

Call public works at (860)464-9060 ext.5 for more information on single stream recycling or if you have something else not on these lists that you need to throw away.
