At DEEP, we try to lead by example – we recycle, compost and buy clean energy to power our headquarters in Hartford. That’s why you will find native, non-invasive plantings in the garden beds on either side of the front entrance at 79 Elm Street in Hartford. It’s a small but important example of how we can preserve part of our state’s natural heritage.
Recycling
Connecticut disposes of 2.4 million tons of trash annually, an estimated 1,370 pounds of trash per person per year. That's too much! Learn more about how we manage our waste and how to help us move toward more waste reduction, reuse and recycling.
