There may be some positives in the Municipal Review Committee’s Hampden plant situation to highlight at the Dec. 14 annual meeting. Leadership could emerge from towns that can convince the people in charge to take a different approach and incorporate proven diversion techniques reducing waste disposal needs. The MRC towns are now owners of the trash-sorting facility. Perhaps that machinery could be used to remove recyclables currently ending up at PERC and Juniper Ridge and Crossroads landfills. ~ Jackie Elliott, Waterboro
