Work has begun to renovate the recycling building at the Hamburg Road complex. When the renovations are completed: the new building will be slightly larger than the old one; the stairs will be gone; new, improved recycling instructions will be posted; motion-detector lights will be installed to aid residents who recycle in the evenings; and 24/7 video-monitoring capabilities will be enabled, allowing us to improve compliance. Most importantly, the new building will have a cost-saving compactor. Compacted loads of recyclables cost far less to transport to processing plants and we anticipate the Town will save approximately $25,000 each year from this improvement. Once the renovations are completed, the Town will also be switching to single-stream recycling at the Hamburg complex, meaning, residents will no longer need to sort their recyclables into different bins. More information will available here on our web page and the Town’s Facebook page as we get closer to opening the new facility.

On Monday, Feb. 27, at 1:00 p.m., at the Lymes’ Senior Center, the center will offer a free training session in the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), which will be led by two local emergency medical technicians (EMTs), Colleen Atkinson and Doug LoPresti. The training session will explain how to recognize when someone is experiencing cardiac arrest and how to use this type of defibrillator. The EMTs will also demonstrate how to use hands-only CPR integrated with the use of an AED while waiting for an ambulance to arrive. The program is free and open to the public. To register for the free event, please call the senior center at 860-434-4127.
