Today is World Environment Day, dedicated to celebrating Climate Action to reduce the effects of climate change. Every time you compost your food waste instead of throwing it in the trash, you are helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Manchester Food Scrap Drop-off Program is a great way to get started with separating your food from your trash. All residents are eligible to join!

The 2026 Adopt a Street for Earth Day program was a huge success! We had over 80 volunteers sign up to cover over 60 streets. Thank you to every person who took the time to cleanup litter in their neighborhoods this spring!

The next Fixery is June 13 during the Second Saturday Downtown from 10am to 2pm at WORK_SPACE on Main st.
Don’t toss that broken item – get it repaired for free at the Fixery. We fix: jewelry, small appliances, lamps, bikes, clothing, and computers.

Registration preferred, but walk-ins are welcome.

Are you a fixer, tinkerer, or repair person? Do you want to volunteer to help grow the Manchester repair community? Email [email protected] to sign up.

🚧✨ Public Works Day is tomorrow! Come hang with us from 8–12 for equipment demos, fun activities, and a chance to meet the team that keeps our community moving. Hope to see you there!

Did you pull your AC out of storage just to find that it's broken? Remember - don’t throw your AC in the curbside trash or recycling carts. Call to schedule curbside bulky pick up or bring to the Transfer Station for free. ACs in the trash costs the town 150% more than if disposed of properly.

Have any more questions about recycling and how to use the Transfer Station? Come see us at Public Works Day on Saturday from 8am-12pm!

🎉 Get ready, Manchester! 🎉
Public Works Day is happening Saturday, May 30th from 8am–12pm, and you won’t want to miss it.

Bring the family for a touch‑a‑truck, an awesome equipment show, games, giveaways, and tons of community fun. Mark your calendars — it’s going to be a great day!
