Looking for solutions for Connecticut's trash problem Chester joins the CCSMM. (Rachel Nunes/Patch)
CHESTER, CT — With an eye towards helping to find new ways to dispose of trash in the state, while at the same time reducing the amount of waste generated in Connecticut, the Chester Board of Selectman decided, at their last meeting, to join the Connecticut Coalition for Sustainable Materials Management (CCSMM).
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection DEEP invited Chester to be part of the coalition that the neighboring towns of Essex and Deep River are already members of. Now Chester has gotten on board, to lend a hand in coming up with a solution to the problem of trash in Connecticut.
