Tunbridge discusses transfer‑station limits, stickers and gates; changes set for July 1, 2026
Summary
The Selectboard debated how to distinguish commercial vs. residential use at the transfer station, discussed an eight‑bag residential limit, mandatory bagging, purchase of two gates, and a sticker program; the board recorded an implementation date of July 1, 2026.
Selectboard members discussed concerns that some users bring quantities of rubbish that look commercial rather than residential. Board members considered limiting residential users to eight bags and requiring all trash be bagged as part of a new policy.
The minutes record discussion of creating separate stickers for property owners, residents and renters, and purchasing two gates for the transfer station. The board recorded an implementation date for the new rules—July 1, 2026—but the minutes do not include final sticker prices, enforcement details or a vote count. Staff will draft the formal transfer‑station policy for future consideration and publication.
