Transfer Station Winter Operations Changes

The Select Board has made the difficult decision to implement winter weather changes at the Transfer Station. This is due to not being able to put our salt and sand on the new site on the Western County Road, as construction will not be able to start until the Spring.

Transfer Station Winter Operations Changes:

1) On Tuesdays and Saturdays when the plow trucks have to be on the road (storm conditions), the transfer station will be closed.   Closures will be noted on the town website and Facebook as soon as the announcement has been made.              

2) Starting November 21st, the transfer station will stop receiving demolition debris to allow enough room to load the trucks with sand and salt. A good amount of what is currently being put in the demo pile can go in the compactor. Please cut wood to 3 foot or smaller lengths and box or bag other material.            

3) A small pile of sand will be available as in years past for taxpayers to fill buckets of sand for their driveways and walkways. This pile will be located at the Wallamatogus trail parking area.                                  

4) Refrigerators and metal will still be taken.                                                  

5) Anticipate that on days when the Transfer Station is open, the whole area will be congested, as our temporary salt bunker will be housed at the Transfer Station and there will be trucks and a loader on site all of the time.
