Transfer Station




What We Do

The Transfer Station receives materials such as garbage, recyclable materials, household and yard waste from residents and garbage haulers. An annual Transfer Station Permit is required to use this service (See Permit Application).  

These collected materials are reloaded and prepared for transport to “waste to energy” plants. In addition, we organize and conduct Household Hazardous Waste Days on an annual basis

Shred Day - May 4th, 2024

Specifically receiving:
Appliances
Clothing/Textiles
Construction demolition materials
Batteries
Brush and yard waste
Electronics
Household garbage - either delivered directly by authorized citizens or collected and delivered by private haulers 
Recyclable materials
Waste oil
Car batteries
Propane tanks 
Tires
