If that is so, it seems worth the little bit of extra effort involved in meeting the dump guidelines.
I do not know about Moultonborough, but in the town I live in we are going to see an additional $40,000 applied to our dumping fees (at the town level) if the other 75% of the town does not get in the game and start recycling. The first few years the transfer station was backfeeding the town budget and keeping some for themselves that allowed for equipment purchases that we did not have to see an increase to pay for. But it appears things are dieing down on the recycling front, I cannot for the life of me understand why.

I can tell you by pulling every piece of paper, cardboard, tin, plactic and glass out of the trash bag, out family of four only brings two bags of garbage to the transfer station a week and I do the recyclables every other.
