TAMWORTH — With the Tamworth Recycling Project, the town of Tamworth seeks to balance civic and environmental responsibility with economics and convenience when it comes to recycling.
Selectmen's chairman Willie Farnum told the Sun he and like-minded citizens encourage people to recycle, saying it saves the town money by reducing hauling and tipping fees associated with solid waste, and it also helps slow the rate at which landfills are reaching capacity.
