Single Stream 

Single stream is the collection of all recyclable materials in one container. Newspaper, office paper, cardboard, metals, plastics, and glass no longer have to be separated for pickup. Through the process of single stream recycling, recycling is less of a time consuming hassle, which has an end result of less reusable material ending up in landfills. This process of recycling is not in effect in every town; Please check with your town to see if they are a participant. For additional information click on " Single Stream"
