Gun Buyback in Hamden

There will be a gun buyback event on the top level of the Hamden Police Department parking garage at 2900 Dixwell Avenue on Saturday, September 17, 2022, from 9 AM - PM.

You will be able to drop off working guns in exchange for cash and remain anonymous because they will not ask for an ID. The compensation for each type of gun is:

• $10: BB, pellet, paint, and air-powered guns
• $50: Single and double-shot (Derringer style) handguns, rifles, shotguns
• $150: Pistols and revolvers (handguns)
• $250: Assault-type weapons

They will also collect non-working guns, but you will not receive compensation for them. The police will provide free gun locks and safe gun storage information, and Swords to Plowshares Northeast will show guns they convert into garden tools.
