Please be considerate of our neighbors and cover any open loads when traveling to and from the Transfer Station.

Many recyclables are accepted without charge Current Rules. However, our recycling contractor does NOT accept some materials which are technically recyclable -- examples include styrofoam, the clear plastic packaging commonly used as containers for many retail items and plastic films such as common kitchen wraps/sealers.

Disposal costs necessitate a small fee for non-recyclables and some bulky or difficult recyclables.
