Connecticut Recycles Day is a recycling awareness day that takes place on November 15th each year. This day is set aside to recognize and celebrate the positive impact of reducing, reusing, recycling, composting and closing the recycling loop in our communities, schools, businesses and state agencies.  You can use this day at your workplace, school, or in your home to bring awareness to recycling and commit to improving your recycling program.
