Transfer Station Guidelines for Recyclables Reminder

Reminder to all residents on Transfer Station guidelines for recyclables.   Recyclables brought to Transfer Station must follow State guidelines for single stream, mixed recycling.  Including too many non-recyclable items can cause increased fees for the town and result in dumpsters being considered waste and not processed as recyclables.  Many items marked for recycling cannot be included such as plastic bags, black plastic containers, styrofoam, and prescription bottles.  To learn more, the Transfer Station page of the town website contains useful information on what can and cannot be recycled including a “Can I Recycle It” wizard  and phone app that lets you check on any item and whether it should be thrown out as trash or included in recycling.
