What Darien Recycles

The Darien Environmental Group was founded by a group of local residents who wanted to focus attention on the environment. Through educational initiatives the group gradually built a set of programs that would encourage ways each of us can make a positive difference for our environment. We want people to realize that the small changes we make in our habits will create real change for the community.

Whether it is through the grade school programs or our new residents grocery bag give aways our goal is to guide Darien citizens to be responsible for their environment.

We meet monthly to review existing programs along with brainstorming future projects. We always welcome new members. If you have a little or a lot of time to donate become a part of this positive change.

DEG has been involved in the townwide arts festival, the annual Memorial Day parade, the sale of rain barrels, the hazardous waste collection day in town and various recycling initiatives.
