The town of Tiverton received great news the other day from RI Resource Recovery as the agency notified the town would be receiving a check for 43,581 dollars.
This money is the towns share of the profits from the sale of recycling materials that RIRRC is sharing with each community in RI.
It should be noted that these monies were obtained through the efforts of Rep.John Loughlin and recycling committee who petitioned the agency to include the town in the Recycling Participation Grant Awards.
This is first compensation the town has received from the agency for its recyclables.
In past years,the town has not been considered to be a participant in the agencies grant programs due to the fact we operate our own landfill.
The agencies grant program was based on trash to recycling percentage and since the town never tipped trash in agencies Johnston landfill we never qualified for the money.
