Select Board clarifies transfer station rules; Sunday demo policy discussed
Summary
Staff reviewed transfer station guidelines including how to obtain stickers, renter procedures and the town’s practice on taking demolition debris. The board discussed Sunday hours and whether demo materials would be accepted; staff indicated Sundays were open for regular household waste but demo acceptance was subject to staffing and guidance.
Town staff updated the board on transfer station operations, posting of rules and a new guideline on how residents obtain stickers and comply with rental and contractor requirements.
The chair summarized operations and said, “The 1 thing they don't do on Sundays is they don't take, demo,” clarifying that Sunday hours are targeted to household waste and cardboard while demo dumpsters are usually not staffed on the shorter Sunday schedule. Staff noted one recent Sunday where an exception occurred and said they will seek consistency in messaging and enforcement.
Board members discussed staffing, the plan to hire summer help for the transfer station (posting effective July 1) and how day passes and temporary stickers are handled for non-property owners and renters. Staff indicated they will prepare a clear written guideline to publicize the rules and help volunteers and residents follow the process.
