TAMWORTH — The Tamworth transfer station pilot program was deemed a success by the lead organizer, who said they plan to continue it next weekend and possibly beyond that.
The Tamworth Recycling Project is an informal group of residents who want to increase recycling in town, protect the environment and/or save the town money.
