As of March 14, 2015 due to regulatory and handling changes at the Town's transfer station, it has become necessary for a minimal fee to be appplied to appliances that require degassing or cooling agents removed prior to recycling due to an EPA regulation. The charge for this service will be $15.00. All other applicance and scrap metal will still be accepted at no charge. The no charge fee is still applied to the recycling of computers, monitors, and TV's. Older style large monitors and televisions (known as cathode ray devises) will not be accepted at the site. These require different methods for recycling and incur costs. For more information regarding E-Waste |
