Composting at the Waste Transfer Station

The Waste Transfer Station accepts loads of compostable yard waste (branches, trees, grass clippings, sod and plant debris) free of charge.

If yard waste is bagged and is brought to the Waste Transfer Station, citizens must open the bags and empty the contents that are inside onto the Town’s organics pile. No bags (even compostable) can be placed on the Town’s organic pile.

Compostable yard waste can also be taken to the Waste Transfer Station in:

• Truck or trailer beds that can be shoveled into the compost pile; and
• Any other container aside from your green cart or grey cart that can be emptied into the Town's compost pile.
  
  

Please note: The Town's Waste Transfer Station does not accept kitchen waste for its compost pile as the facility is not set up to compost that type of material. Kitchen waste can only be composted through the curbside green cart program where the waste is transported to an approved composting site.

Green and Grey Carts

Citizens are asked not to use grey carts or green carts to transport yard waste to the Waste Transfer Station. The grey and green carts pose a risk of contamination due to household waste and other organic matter.

There will be a charge for compost taken to the Waste Transfer Station in a green or grey cart. The carts must be emptied in the garbage building.
