Waste Connections faces backlash over long transfer station wait times
During a recent government meeting, officials addressed growing concerns regarding extended wait times at the local transfer station operated by Waste Connections. Several contractors have reported significant delays, with some experiencing wait times of up to two hours when attempting to unload debris.

The discussion highlighted the two primary methods for disposing of waste at the facility: a conveyor belt for smaller vehicles and a designated area for trailers. It was noted that the longer wait times are predominantly affecting contractors using the trailer section of the transfer station.

Officials have been actively responding to inquiries from both contractors and the public, with some members personally reaching out to affected parties to gather more information. The meeting underscored the need for potential solutions to alleviate the congestion and improve efficiency at the transfer station, as the current delays are impacting local contractors' operations.
