Emergency Burn Ban In Effect 10/26/24 - An emergency burn ban is now in effect for all Connecticut State Parks, Forests, and Wildlife Management areas, prohibiting the use of all outdoor grills, firepits, and campfires, and the kindling and use of flame outdoors. DEEP and local agencies are working to contain several active fires across the state. Please avoid all affected State Parks and Forests, as well as the blue-blazed Mattabesett Trail. The Enduro Trail in Voluntown and portions of North Stonington within the Pachaug State Forest are closed at this time. Please note that today's forest fire danger report remains at an 'extreme' level. More information about the current fire danger, burn ban and recommended safety measures can be found here

Connecticut Redemption Centers

Redemption Centers are private businesses that work with distributors of carbonated beverages to redeem bottles and cans with a deposit value.  Although consumers can bring these bottles to retail outlets (stores must take back the brands that they offer for sale), many groups that collect large quantities of cans/bottles for fundraising activities will bring their collected items to a redemption center.  Those facilities that are licensed by DEEP to operate redemption centers are listed below. Note:  Redemption centers that are part of retail centers (e.g., grocery stores or liquor stores) may not redeem brands that they do not sell. Please check before you go if you are not certain. Please call the center to confirm it is open before visiting!
