A one-year grant from the EDA to the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority was allocated to the CRRA to examine the economics of recycling by source separation in Fairfield County. The purposes of the project was to assess the feasibility of a technology system for recycling by source separation and to determine the practicability of instituting such a system and the resulting economic impact of such an enterprise in Fairfield County. Factors to be explored in the course of the study were creation of new jobs, new business, cost benefits from the sale of recycled materials, and cost savings to communities. Conclusions and recommendations reflect the system as it existed at this writing.
