About TownTake
Our Mission
TownTake was created to enhance local Put & Take programs by providing a digital platform where residents can discover donated items and give their unwanted goods a second life – all while helping our communities reduce landfill waste.
Our goal is to make reuse more accessible, convenient, and efficient for everyone in the community. By connecting residents digitally, we help reduce unnecessary trips to transfer stations and ensure that more items find new homes instead of ending up in landfills.
Award-Winning Student Project
TownTake won the Congressional App Challenge for Connecticut's 2nd District in 2024!
This application was developed by four talented high school students from Glastonbury High School who identified a need in their community and created an innovative solution.

Our Team
TownTake was created by four innovative students from Glastonbury High School who saw an opportunity to use technology to improve their community's sustainability efforts.
Student Developers
Our team of four high school students combined their programming skills, design thinking, and passion for environmental sustainability to create TownTake.
Community Focus
The team worked closely with local transfer station managers and community members to understand the challenges and opportunities of existing Put & Take programs.
From Concept to Reality
What started as a Congressional App Challenge submission has evolved into a fully functional platform that communities can adopt to enhance their existing reuse programs.
We're proud to offer TownTake as a free service to participating towns and their residents, making sustainability more accessible to everyone.
