Saturday, April 1, 2023 (11am-3pm) Christ Church Parish Hall
Waste Free Greenwich, in partnership with the Greenwich Conservation Commission, is hosting the second annual ReThink Waste Fair on Saturday, April 1, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Christ Church Parish Hall. The fair is an engaging, family-friendly event that explores creative ways to “rethink” waste through the 6Rs: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot.
“The event aims to empower residents to adopt simple, sustainable practices, like composting and recycling right and to support solutions to Connecticut”™s waste crisis. There”™s a better way than throw away,” said Julie DesChamps, founder of Waste Free Greenwich.
At noon, First Selectman Camillo and town officials will issue an Earth Day Proclamation, and the Greenwich Sustainability Committee will announce the recipients of its newly established Sustainability Award, which recognizes Greenwich residents who embody the principles of the committee.
The fair also features a recycling drive for batteries, makeup containers, plastic bags and film, textiles and other hard to recycle items.
A full list of accepted items, donation guidelines and partners are available online. Visit https://www.wastefreegreenwich.org/events/2023/1/15/rethink-waste-fair.
