Connecticut is experiencing a waste crisis. More waste is generated than we have the capacity to manage. What’s happening to all that waste? What is the town of Ridgefield doing to be part of the solution?

Come to the Ridgefield Library on Saturday, April 27th at 2:00 PM and learn where your trash really goes – and how to Take The Challenge to reduce your waste and save money!

Jennifer Heaton-Jones, the Executive Director of the regional governmental solid waste and recycling authority, HRRA, will present at this family-friendly program. There will be plenty of time for Q & A.

So come on out to the Ridgefield Library, and let’s talk trash!  Please register.

Join us at the Ridgefield Library on Tuesday, April 30th at 7:00 PM as we welcome author Mark Robinson.  Please register.

Mark’s second book, Black On Madison Avenue, is part deeply personal memoir and part explosive history of what he calls “America’s most un-diverse white collar profession.” Since its release in July 2023, the book has been the recipient of a remarkable 6 literary book awards. Mark is a past member of the Multicultural Marketing Leadership Council, a national touring lecturer and an ongoing mentor for the American Association of Advertising Agencies.
