OSSIPEE — Following a meeting with Ellen Farnum of the Tamworth Recycling Project Nov. 6, Carroll County commissioners said they will be seeking ways to enhance recycling efforts in the region.

Late last year, local towns were grappling with volatility in the recyclables market, but earlier this year, the Tamworth Recycling Project found markets for beverage glass and tin. They also set up a swap shop at the town transfer station where residents could bring in usable items for other residents to take.
