Clean City Danbury Day Set For May 6

DANBURY, CT — To encourage residents to clean their homes or property of debris and unwanted items, Danbury has scheduled Clean City Danbury Day for Saturday, May 6 from 8 a.m. to noon. During that time, residents may dispose of debris and unwanted items free of charge at five locations throughout the city.

"Our community has come together over the years to clean up homes, properties, and our city streets," Mayor Dean Esposito said. "I would like to welcome residents, community groups and organizations to adopt a street as part of this incredible day which is made possible through the generosity and partnership of Oak Ridge Waste and Recycling."

Organizations, groups and individuals who wish to volunteer at a dump site or adopt-a-street may sign up by using the online form here.

Bulk garbage dumping is limited to Danbury residents and residential property owners. Proof of residence will be required.

The five drop-off location are:

• Danbury City Hall (155 Deer Hill Avenue)
• Public Works Facility (53 Newtown Road)
• State Dept. of Transportation Facility (Stadley Rough Road/Rockwell Road)
• Rogers Park (By the Tennis Courts)
• WCSU Westside Campus (43 Lake Avenue Extension)

Construction debris, grass clippings, yard debris, hazardous wastes, and electronics will not be accepted. Scrap metal, tires, and white appliances containing freon are acceptable, but must be kept separate from other garbage. No commercial vehicles or box trucks will be allowed.

Residents may drop off electronics at the Oak Ridge’s Mom & Pop Center at 307 White Street during Clean City Danbury Day.
