Single Stream Recycling comes to Old Lyme !
as of May 2, 2011.

Shoreline Sanitation now collects your recycling too. For most people, your recycle pick-up day will not change, but your recycling will now be picked up every other week.

What does single-stream recycling mean?
It means you no longer have to sort glass, paper, metal & cardboard for curbside pick-up. Just mix all your recyclable items together and let us take care of the sorting.

It also means you can RECYCLE MORE items. Please click here for a list of approved items for your recycling bin.

What are the benefits of recycling for Old Lyme and its taxpayers?
Every additional ton than we recycle is a ton that we do not have to pay to dispose of as trash, single-stream helps us recover and re-use valuable materials.

If you have any questions:
About the program --- contact Town Hall at 860 434-1605 x212;
About your actual service --- contact Shoreline Sanitation at 860 434-0052.

PLEASE HAVE YOUR TRASH AND RECYCLING CARTS
CURBSIDE BY 6:00 AM ON YOUR PICKUP DAY. THANKS
