The town selectmen have officially reversed their decision and the artwork will remain at the recycling center. Your collective commitment ensured that our unique local landmark preserved its character. I will keep a watchful eye on the coming discussions to ensure these improvements remain in place for the community.

A big thank you to everyone who signed the petition and came to town hall. I think we persuaded the town selectmen to re-evaluate the decision to remove the art and flowers! Further talks regarding some designated "art and flower" areas at the recycling center need to be discussed but is sounds like some beauty and Candia charm will be added back to the center! I want to also thank the selectmen for listening to their constituents (and my personal rant) and being open-minded enough to see that our recycling center is a cherished town institution - our dump is more than a dump to its residents!
Again, Thank you,
Jim Argeriou
As of Wednesday July 8th, the recycling center employees have been ordered by the town selectmen to remove all of the artwork that is displayed on the walls. It was bad enough to lose the beautiful and artistic flower gardens and giant sunflower beds, but now the paintings have to go as well?! Chuck Witcher and Joe Lamarche (as well as the other employees) have been collecting and proudly displaying the recycled artwork on the walls of the dump for the last ten years and I don’t know about you but I liked it. The paintings (and flower beds for that matter) gave the dump a certain uniqueness that is Candia. The paintings, though certainly not Rembrandt’s or Picasso’s, added brightness and measure of fun when going to the dump. Now, instead of looking at a colorful array of art you will get to look at the insides of a grey metal building.
Here is a link to the Hooksett Banner article “Days are numbered for art at Candia Recycling Center”. I think if you read it you will be as impassioned as I am to make sure the artwork stays - help to keep the dump beautiful!

Please pass this along to any Candia, NH resident who you think enjoys the artwork
at the dump.

The momentum generated by this movement has surpassed my initial expectations and signaled to the selectmen that our community values its character. Your collective commitment confirms that our recycling center remains a cherished town institution.

I read the article. As a visitor to Candia I have accompanied a resident to the dump. I loved both the flowers and the art. This decision of the selectmen is petty and demeaning to the employees.
I love that the guys that work the transfer station salvage the artwork that comes through. It shows they care about it. If it matters to them, it should matter to us. Leave it up and thank them for taking the time to do it.
Candia was featured on NH Chronicle because our dump was so cool, unique, and well run. Now the selectmen want to do away with all this? Hopefully they will have to vote on this as I am sure it will have a drastic impact on their chances of reelection.
There is a special character about Candia which includes the art display at the recycling center, as well as the cheerful personalities of the personnel. I would ask that the selectmen demonstrate the "character" to reconsider and rescind their decision. Bob Sargent
I think both the art work and the flowers are pleasing to the eye at the recycling center. As far as the flowers go wish I could grow such great flowers. I personally think they lift everybody's spirits and make you stop and notice nice things even on your busiest day.

I have donated some of the artwork that has graced the otherwise dull walls of the recycling center. My sister, who lives in Candia, always enjoys seeing them on"dump runs". Please keep them!!
