The board is particularly focused on maintaining the efficiency of their existing recycling operations while potentially benefiting from increased revenue through this partnership.
The initiative aims not only to assist Deerfield but also to showcase Candia's successful recycling practices, which have been financially beneficial since the center's establishment in 2008.
