HAMPSTEAD — The Solid Waste Committee wants to get the recycling word out to residents and they've found one way to do it.
The committee agreed to spend $535 to have 4,300 brochures printed and inserted into a free publication delivered to Hampstead homes.
The brochure covers information on curbside-trash and recycling pickup, Kent Farm Transfer Station information and what can be dropped off at the town garage.
Committee member Joe Tabi said it would be money well spent to get this information into the hands of every household in Hampstead. He said recycling numbers, for whatever reason, have been decreasing. He and the other members hope with more information, residents will be reverse the trend.
The committee also has solicited the help of Middle School students, under the guidance of teacher Kathe Cussen, to make a video about recycling.
In addition, committee member Bob Nugent suggested the Cable Committee be asked if they would make a video of recycling at the town garage and possibly even do a video of what goes on at the transfer station. These could all be aired on the town cable channel as well as used at events to get the message out.
