Farmington Green Efforts Committee Funds Full $4,500 for Union School Compost Table

Henry Whitfield·

The Farmington Green Efforts Committee voted unanimously Tuesday to cover the full $4,500 cost of a custom compost-sorting table for Union Elementary School — more than doubling the $2,000 the school's Student Council had asked for and freeing the Union PTO from the contribution it had pledged. Three Student Council members presented the school's three-stream cafeteria sorting program before the vote.

Farmington's April 25 Town-Wide Cleanup Logged 89 Volunteers and 2,200 Pounds of Trash

Henry Whitfield·

Eighty-nine volunteers turned out for Farmington's town-wide cleanup on Saturday, April 25, weighing in 1,339 pounds of trash and filling trucks that tipped at about 2,200 pounds. Top groups: Miss Porter's, the seven-person NHS subset "Bubby Tube," the broader National Honor Society contingent, and the Farmington Land Trust. The committee is weighing whether to relocate the Irving-Alling Recreation station next year after a baseball game running during the cleanup produced no engagement.
