Greenland transfer station begins selling new recycling bins at $11 each, two‑per‑customer limit
Summary
Selectmen were told recycling bins recently ordered for the transfer station have arrived; the bins will sell for $11 each with an initial purchase limit of two per customer so the town can monitor turnover.
During the March 10 meeting, town staff updated the board that the recycling bins the board approved at a prior meeting have arrived at the transfer station and are available for sale to residents. The bins are reported to be taller but narrower in diameter than expected, blue with an EcoMain logo, and priced at $11 each.
Staff said they have placed a two‑bin purchase limit per customer initially so the transfer station can monitor turnover and sales. Transfer station employees were asked to record each sale so revenue is tracked and reimbursed to the town. Staff estimated a modest early uptake and asked employees to notify finance when bins are sold so the income can be reconciled.
Ending: Bins are now available for purchase at the transfer station; staff will continue to track sales and report income to finance.
