NEWRY — The town will hold a public hearing at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 18, at the Town Office to go over the wording of the Oxford County Regional Recycling referendum on the Nov. 8 ballot.

The referendum, if passed, will dissolve the Oxford County Regional Recycling Corp. because escalating transportation costs and a move toward single-stream recycling have made the program obsolete, according to public officials.

All 15 towns involved with the corporation will vote on the question. They include Norway, Paris, Otisfield, Bethel, Hanover, Denmark, Greenwood, Woodstock, Milton Township, Hebron, Newry, Livermore, Gilead, Lincoln Plantation and Upton.
