Board of Assessors raises transfer‑station fees, removes tires as acceptable waste
Summary
The Rangeley Board of Assessors unanimously removed tires from acceptable transfer‑station waste and raised oversized bulky‑waste fees (mattresses/box springs $20; large sofas $20; small sofas $15; recliners $10). The clerk will update printed materials and the website.
The Board of Assessors voted unanimously on Feb. 11 to remove tires from the list of acceptable waste at the town transfer station and to increase fees for oversized bulky items.
Board members approved the new fees for bulky waste as follows: all mattresses and box springs $20; large sofas and couches $20; small sofas and loveseats $15; and stuffed chairs and recliners $10. The board directed the clerk to update all printed materials and the town website to reflect the changes.
The action was presented during the board’s “Other Business” updates. The Clerk summarized the change and confirmed the board’s unanimous decision; no individual motion or roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript. The fee increases and removal of tires take effect for the transfer station’s published rules once the clerk updates the materials.
The change is intended to clarify acceptable waste categories and adjust the transfer station’s cost structure for oversized items. The board did not discuss a separate exemption or waiver process for residents with limited means during the recorded discussion.
Next procedural steps recorded in the meeting: the clerk will update signage and online information and the board will be kept informed of any public response.
