Recycling is confusing because of ever increasing, varied & cheap packaging. When shopping try choosing items known to be allowed in CT's curbside recycling. Not sure? Look it up on the Waste Wizard, also available as an app. westhartfordct.gov/town-depa… – at West Hartford, CT

Kudos to the @TownofCary NC for its successful food scrap pilot! Like residents in many #CT towns, Cary residents recognize the hazards that food waste poses in the waste stream, whether sent to landfills or incinerated. #methane #CO2 #emissions #darien

Winter weather is expected tonight and into Saturday. We are ready! When you see us on the roads, remember #DontCrowdThePlow and please keep a safe distance (300 feet) back. Also, give yourself some extra time to get where you need to be.

A wintery mix of snow and sleet is expected tonight before turning into all rain tomorrow morning.
While a parking ban will NOT be issued, the Department of Public Works strongly encourages off-street parking so our crews can remove any snow that accumulates curb-to-curb.
