CT trash haulers have been spotted mixing recyclables with trash, in trucks or at transfer stations, to save money. Little oversight exists. ift.tt/nDyFVTo

So I put my plastic in the blue bin, but some trash haulers dump the recycling with the rest of the trash? ctmirror.org/2023/02/26/ct-…

Connecticut is committed to increasing its already admirable rates of recycling. But if you catch a hauler mixing trash and recycling, don't expect state environmental officials to do anything. ctmirror.org/2023/02/26/ct-…

Gov. Lamont extended the deadline for LIHEAP assistance, but state funds for relief remain unspent. Critics say the state was too frugal. ift.tt/bW7GylL

The story of CT companies converting food waste to other products is central to Lamont’s advocacy for a waste-disposal and recycling bill. ift.tt/Bz3hZjR

Taking food out of the waste stream and mandating recycled content in packaging are probably the least controversial provisions in Governor Ned Lamont's ambitious plan. Both complement private-sector efforts. ctmirror.org/2023/03/21/ct-…

A plan to overhaul CT's waste-disposal and recycling system is being scaled back amid opposition from the industry and some municipalities. ift.tt/6hWep2A

CT's public water utilities may soon be required to install treatment technology to help remove PFAS, or "forever chemicals," from tap water. ift.tt/1Fte7WO

The EPA announced last month it was establishing an enforceable limit for PFAS in public drinking water. Not all systems in CT have shared testing results. But the ones that have show there are plenty of systems with PFAS levels above the new limit. ctmirror.org/2023/04/09/ct-…

Agriculture is changing in CT, a revolution about more than marijuana. CT farmers are growing choi, forming co-ops — and hosting weddings. ift.tt/E8GO4Nc
