The Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority Trash Museum in Hartford’s South Meadows has a new logo that emphasizes its educational pitch about recycling, conserving energy and protecting the environment.
The 6,500-square-foot facility, opened in 1993, is adjacent to the trash authority’s single-stream recycling center at 211 Murphy Road. More than 200,000 children and adults have visited the Trash Museum since it opened, the authority said.
Pita Group in Rocky Hill designed the whimsical logo that juxtaposes images of a trash can and toilet paper roll with graffiti and typographical treatments to remind the public to reduce, reuse, recycle and recover resources.
The museum is open to the public Wednesday through Friday from noon to 4 p.m. In July and August, the museum is also open Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
