2022 Annual Earth Day Celebration

Hamden Earthday  

Saturday   April 23rd, 2022       Earth Day is this Saturday ! Click on the Exhibitors / Events tab to see what is goin to happen ! Please remember to a) Bring your own reusable containers b) Minimize your trash and recycling and bring what you can back with you. c) Observe the trash / recycling /food scraps signs and ask a volunteer if you have any questions about what you can recycle. 

Mayor Garrett encourages residents to re-engage with our environment this Earth Day season, commenting, " Hamden is moving forward with more sustainable practices including reducing energy use, reducing our trash, and engaging the community in a town wide effort towards a more sustainable environment." 

An active earth day committee that includes the Mayor's office, Public Works, Commission representatives and Hamden citizens is helping to lesson the "footprint" of the earth day event itself, while developing new engaging activities for residents. 

Home Composters

 We will be taking orders for home composters again this year. Last year residents purchased over 100 home composters and rain barrels at less than  the retail price  . Through a program offered by The South Central Council of Governments, Hamden is able to offer 80 gallon composters for a reduced price again this spring.  Pickup of pre-ordered items will be on April 23rd, from 1:30 -3:30 pm. If you have any questions about this , call the recycling coordinator at 203-287-7021.
