In April of 2012, Governor Dannel P. Malloy appointed the members of a working group to analyze and make recommendations on how the state can modernize its approach to recycling, reduce waste through improved materials management and lower costs for municipalities, residents, and businesses. The working group has established subcommittees to address these tasks. A final report outlining their recommendations is due on December 1, 2012. The working group is being led by the Governor's Office in partnership with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and other state agencies.
