As recycling costs soar elsewhere, Redding officials tout lock-ed in low rates

The Connecticut Conference of Municipalities is calling on the General Assembly to put a prohibition on any new state recycling mandates until long-term solutions are found for rising costs.  Redding officials say the town is one of the few to not be impacted at this time.  As a member of a regional recycling authority, they locked into a ten year contract at $10 per ton just before the crash.  Municipalities throughout Connecticut are getting hit with massive increases in the cost of hauling recyclables, including Weston and Wilton.  Those municipalities have seen price increases from $9 per ton upwards of $70.
