Danbury Seeks Volunteers For Clean City Danbury Day

From The City of Danbury: The City is gearing up for the annual Clean City Danbury Day and is actively searching for volunteers to pick up litter in a neighborhood, park or waterway. You do not have to be a Danbury resident to participate in the clean-up. Last year, nearly 1,000 volunteers picked up litter throughout the city. The Mayor's Office provides supplies (trash bags, safety vests, and gloves). If you are planning on picking up litter around the city, please call the Mayor’s Office at 203-797- 4511 and let us know which streets are getting beautified so that we can provide you with supplies and know where to pick up your garbage. Volunteers are also needed at each dumpster location. Volunteers at a dumpster site will assist residents in the drop-off process.

Resident Drop-Off Information:

Thanks to our partners at Winters Brothers Waste Systems, the City will once again offer free disposal of unwanted items to Danbury residents/property owners at one of our five dumpster locations.

The dumpster locations have not changed. They are at City Hall, Rogers Park, the P.A.L. Building, Public Works Building and WCSU Westside Campus. Clean your home or property of debris and unwanted items. Dispose of them, free of charge, at any one of our five dumpster sites. Bulk garbage dumping is limited to Danbury residents and residential property owners ONLY (proof is needed).

No commercial vehicles or box trucks will be allowed. Construction debris, grass clippings, yard debris, hazardous wastes, and electronics* are NOT allowed. Also note that scrap metal, tires and white appliances containing Freon must be kept separate from other garbage.

*Electronics are accepted for free year-round at Winters Bros. Recycling Center (307 White Street).

Paper shredding will be offered during Clean City Danbury Day at the Winters Bros. Waste Systems Recycling Center at 307 White Street.
