Avon’s annual Town Cleanup and Sustainability Fair is quickly approaching. Celebrate the change of seasons with a little spring cleaning of your own. This event not only provides a chance to unite with the community to restore Avon’s beauty, but it also offers a prime opportunity to recycle your e-waste, learn from local sustainability companies, and enjoy ice-cold beer from Ein Prosit. Here’s what you need to know:
When and Where
The Town Cleanup and Sustainability Fair will be held on Wednesday, May 21, from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM at the Sun & Ski Parking Lot (located at 218 Beaver Creek Place). Upon check-in, volunteers will receive bags and gloves, and will be assigned four zones to tidy up.
What to Expect
The Town Cleanup and Sustainability Fair provides volunteers with guidance on making their homes and businesses more eco-friendly. This event features education, demonstrations, and innovative ways to reduce waste, conserve energy, and save water. Volunteers can also learn about Avon’s recycling, composting, and waste programs, how to eliminate noxious weeds, and how to take advantage of energy rebates and electric vehicles.
Of course, those who come to clean up are also invited to clear out their offices and basements by dropping off waste, old paint, and styrofoam (proof of address is required).
The types of waste accepted include the following:
Computers, electronics, and small appliances (excluding large appliances and refrigerators)
Interior and exterior paints, primers, sealers, stains, metal coatings, varnishes, and lawn paint (excluding tar or bitumen-based paints)
Styrofoam from TVs, appliances, computers, furniture, electronic packaging, foam coolers, and car parts (excluding service foam, packing peanuts, meat trays, or egg cartons)
Parking Info
Parking is free for the first three hours at town-owned stalls in the following locations:
Plastic-Free Event
The Town Cleanup and Sustainability Fair is a plastic-free event, encouraging volunteers to bring their own reusable water bottles. This aligns with the town’s sustainability goal of reducing waste by 50% by 2030.
