Tree debris tips from our Transfer Station

Our Solid Waste Transfer Station has been receiving an extremely large volume of trees limbs that came down during last winter’s snow storms. 

If possible, we ask you to make use of the weekly recycling collection for yard trim from your home.  See our Storm Cleanup page for preparation instructions.

If you want to deliver the material to the Transfer Station yourself because you have larger tree sections or limbs, please be prepared for the possibility of long lines during peak periods on Saturdays and Sundays. 

The Transfer Station has evening hours from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.  These hours are lightly used and would assure a quick and efficient drop-off. 

Residents may bring in as much natural wood waste / yard trim as they want from their own home.  The 500 pound limit for the public drop-off facility only applies to trash.
