We accept a wide variety of trash and recycling. Transfer Station tickets must be obtained from the Town Clerk (cash or check) or from the Transfer Station Manager (check only) in order to utilize our services.

Additionally, we accept all clean paper, boxboard, cardboard, magazines, newspapers, #2 clear plastic, aluminum, glass and metal at no charge. The Transfer Station contracts with Essex County to haul our refuse.
