Trumbull residents can purchase compost bins and green cone digesters, town officials announced.

What is composting?

Composting is when kitchen scraps and yard wastes are recycled into a rich fertilizer, called humus, that can be used to help plants grow.

Trumbull residents can purchase a backyard Garden Gourmet Compost Bin for $30. The bin requires minimal assembly and includes a free collection caddy, town officials said.

What is digesting?

Digesting is where household waste, including meat and bones, is digested and is primarily reduced to water. The cone digests the food and the nutrients are released into the soil around the cone. There is no final compost product with the green cone. The cone requires minimal assembly and works best in a well-drained, sunny location, town officials said.

 Trumbull residents can purchase a Green Cone Digester for $50 and it includes a free collection caddy.

Both bins are on display in the Town Hall.

Pre-ordering and pre-payment is required and is available only to Trumbull residents. For an order form, go to www.trumbull-ct.gov or call or email Robin Bennett, Trumbull Recycling Coordinator @ 203-452-5056, robin.bennett@trumbull-ct.gov. Pick-up is on Saturday, August 25^th, 2012 from 9 am – 2 pm at the Trumbull Nature and Arts Center located at 7115 Main Street in Trumbull.

Press release:

Recycling News

 The Town of Trumbull is seeking everyone’s participation with the single stream recycling program. Single stream recycling has been in effect in Trumbull since last October. A recent recycling survey revealed that many residents have not heard about the single stream recycling program. What does single stream mean? Single stream means that you can now put all recyclables in the bin without having to sortor bundle the paper separately from the other items.

Trumbull’s recycling used to go to a processing sorting facility where paper was sorted separately from the cans, bottles and other containers. Now, sorting technology has advanced to where paper and all other containers can be mixed and then sorted. Other technological advances, such as optic eyes that detect different types of plastic, have speeded up the sorting process and cut down on the need for manual sorting.

The new processing facilities also accept more recyclables. Many new types of paper can now go in the bin. In addition to corrugated cardboard, residents can place milk and juice cartons, boxboard such as cerealand pasta boxes, paper towel rolls and egg cartons in their blue bins. More plastics can go in too. Look for the recycling symbol on the container with the number inside. All plastics #1-7 can now go in the bin. Please do not put in plastic bags or styrofoam. A complete list of acceptable and unacceptable items can be found on the town website at www.trumbull-ct.gov.  For questions, contact Trumbull’s recycling coordinator, Robin Bennett, at 203-452-5056 or at robin.bennett@trumbull-ct.gov.

Recycling is an easy way to reduce waste and keep taxes down. Residents pay high garbage disposal tipping feesthrough their taxes. In contrast, recyclables are a source of revenue for the town. Recycling also helps conserve natural resources. According to the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection, every ton of recycled paper can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, 3 cubic yards of landfill space and 7,000 gallons of water.Do your part – Recycle!

Recycling bins can be purchased for $5 each at the town’s Highway Department Monday-Friday from 7 am – 3:30 pm. Residents also can use their own well-marked containers.

 Press  Release:

TRUMBULL – - First Selectman Timothy M. Herbst issued the following statement concerning upcoming construction and repaving at Trumbull High School:

“Starting on Monday, July 9, 2012, the Town of Trumbull will commence paving of the parking lots and driveways at Trumbull High School.  This repaving effort will be concurrent with the ongoing internal renovations of the existing building.  We are currently in the final phase of internal renovations at Trumbull High School.  All Trumbull residents should be advised that there will be no public access allowed to Trumbull High School for the entire summer.  Any resident that tries to access fields or tennis courts at Trumbull High School will have to park in the front or rear of Hillcrest Middle School and walk across the fields to get to their destination.  We apologize for the inconvenience, but it is necessary that this work be completed in order for the renovation project to be completed in a safe and timely fashion.  We will be updating the community throughout the summer concerning Town roadways to be repaved as well.  Thank you for your patience and cooperation.”
