On a day (June 6) when household hazardous waste was being collected across the tracks in a Noroton Heights train station parking lot, some people left their waste on a picnic table at the nearby Darien Depot youth center. Paint cans, fertilizer and turpentine were left on a picnic table, Darien police said.  The town Department of Public Works has now released more information about the incident. Here’s the passage in the latest quarterly report (April to June) of the Darien Department of Public Works:
