Along with Governor Lamont’s recent Executive Order to have Connecticut be carbon-free by 2040, there are new regulations for recycling and trash for private and commercial customers. For those who don’t adapt, there will be fines for not complying. This will require adjustments both by Connecticut residents and those companies that provide services for private, municipal and business clients.

Michael R. Paine, Sr., president of Paine’s Inc., was the guest of Susan Patricelli Regan, on CT Valley Views. Paine’s is a family-owned recycling and rubbish removable service since 1929, and is headquartered in East Granby. Paine explained the challenges the business faces when meeting the current expectations of both State standards and citizens’ expectations without compromise. Moving forward, we can expect that a cost to all will be involved.
