The Transfer Station is managed and operated by CPRC Management, LLC. This facility is used for bulky waste that cannot be collected during curbside collection.
For those who may occasionally have more trash than will fit in your curbside collection trash container, may be away during the scheduled collection, or live on a lengthy private road and find the curbside collection program difficult, the transfer station will accept household trash provided it is in the Town's Pay-As-Your-Throw trash bags.
The Transfer Station accepts recycling materials as well as large items such as appliances, demo wood, brush and stumps, windows, mattresses, furniture, TVs, and tires for a fee. View a complete list and fee schedule of acceptable materials.
