Mission Statement
The Town of Hamden Solid Waste and Recycling Commission was created in April 1999. By ordinance its overall mission is to formulate recommendations concerning the solid waste management and recycling needs of the Town. It is also one of the Commission’s responsibilities to establish recommended yearly goals and objectives for the Town’s solid waste and recycling programs. From its inception the primary objectives to support the Commission’s mission have been to: promote awareness of state and Town recycling mandates to residences, businesses, Town buildings, houses of worship and other institutions, and support enforcement of Hamden’s solid waste management program by working together with other concerned citizens and Town officials.
