The Oxford Historical Society maintains 4 barrels for refundable aluminum can and plastic bottle donations at the Oxford Recycling Center. Volunteers pull full bags, reline the barrels, and eventually drive the full bags to the recycling center in Naugatuck. Workers are scheduled for 3 days (Wednesdays and Saturdays when the Center is open) and make 2-3 trips to check and empty the barrels as needed and to close down as at the end of each assigned day. Volunteers usually work in pairs, with one person checking the barrels and the other picking up full bags of cans and bottles and transporting them to the area recycling center in Naugatuck. Training and directions to the recycling center in Naugatuck are provided. The work is not heavy.

Great to see IMTI leading the way into the solar future! I went to that school specifically to…Read More become a solar electrician. It was before they had a solar program, at the time it was the E-2 electrical course. I see America has a chance to build prosperity again if we will be forward-looking about our manufacturing and energy strategies. My company, Made In USA Solar LLC, aims to contribute to that in a small way, doing what we can by only installing materials made in USA. Congrats to IMTI on their ambitious solar plans!
