Resident raises concern about $40 non-alliance fee at Royalton Transfer Station
Summary
Resident Alex Bird told the Selectboard that Royalton Transfer Station now charges non-alliance customers an extra $40 scale fee; the Town will research existing disposal agreements and alternatives.
Alex Bird, a resident, told the Selectboard that the Royalton Transfer Station has added a $40 scale fee for non-alliance customers, which would affect Sharon residents who use Royalton rather than the more distant Hartford transfer facility. Bird asked whether Sharon could negotiate an agreement with Royalton given the lesser travel distance.
Town staff said they will research the town’s existing trash-disposal agreements and explore whether alternatives or an arrangement with Royalton are possible. The minutes record no commitment or timeline for that research and no formal request was made as a motion during the meeting.
