Challenges and Successes of Converting to Source Separation From Single Stream Recycling

The following presentation was given at NRRA's 2022 Recycling Conference & Expo.

This session will cover two towns as exemplars of converting from single stream to source-separated recycling. First, we will explain what led to why Gilford, NH switched from single-stream, the process of getting a new facility approved, opening the new facility, challenges, successes and future ideas. Then we will discuss the successes and challenges of Rollinsford, NH's conversion back to source-separated recycling.
