A Day at the Museum

Oddly Enough, Choose Trash or Garbage...
If you are looking for something unusual to do with your favorite little people during spring vacation, give a visit to the Garbage Museum in Stratford or the Trash Museum in Hartford.

The Garbage Museum features a Trash-o-saurus, a one-ton dinosaur made from salvaged items (pictured above); a family Trash Bash!, and a worm tunnel that teaches composting techniqes. You can also see trash recycling in action as big-rig trucks drop off their loads.

The Trash Museum features multiple exhibits that begin in the facility's Temple of Trash. Watch the recycling process on closed-circuit and enjoy family oriented activities that teach the 3 R's : Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!


Both museums are operated by the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority (CRRA).
