BIG NEWS!
Last July, for the first time ever at the concerts, there were no single-use plastic cups given out! Only aluminum cups which are fully recyclable and reusable. Concert-goers get a discount when they bring back their metal cups to use again for refills, further reducing waste! So, use and keep your aluminum and classic WLW steel cups!

Do Something Important this Summer
Volunteer with Waste Less Windsor
Have fun volunteering with Waste Less Windsor (WLW), a group of businesses, service organizations, and the Town of Windsor. We help the Windsor community promote better recycling, sustainability, and the reduction of landfill waste. We do this through education and volunteering.
WLW is the major force for the Town of Windsor to help the attendees at the concerts, Thursdays, May 30 – August 29, 2024, 5pm-8pm, go green! We’ll be there to help!
See the Frequently Asked Questions for more information on what we do at the events on the Town Green.
At the Summer Nights on the Green, Waste Less Windsor is a group of volunteers who help concertgoers recycle correctly — recycle in a manner where the amount of waste that ends up in the landfill – the gray disposal cans – is minimized. WLW volunteers care about how recycling is done and want to contribute to getting it right through education! We usually can maintain about a 70% diversion rate, which means 70% of the stuff goes to recycling or compost, without a lot of contamination. That’s really good!
So, June 2023 through August 2023, at the Summer Nights on the Green Concerts, a team of Waste Less Windsor Recycling Helpers (Volunteers) will be at our booth at the concerts and near the colored recycling bins throughout the Town Green to help the attendees recycle their cups and food ware correctly.
