THE TRANSFER STATION IS ON FOWLER ROAD. TRANSFER STATION HOURS ARE LISTED HERE
TRASH
Household trash and broken-down cardboard are picked up Monday mornings. Pease consult the town’s Community Calendar for the latest information in the event of a holiday or weather delays. Household trash must be in plastic bags that are not too heavy for one person to easily lift. The bags should be placed in covered and secured containers. Any trash strewn about, or not in closed bags, will not be picked up. Please place containers curbside by 8am.
Pease consult the town’s Community Calendar for the latest information in the event of a holiday or weather delays. Occasionally, other emergency conditions sucg as Fire/Rescue calls may also delay the opening of the Transfer Station.
Solid waste has to be hauled to the mainland from our Fowler Road Transfer Station. This is a labor-intensive and costly process. We encourage day-trippers to take their trash home with them.
In public areas like Mariner’s Wharf, the blue containers are for bottles and cans, and the trash containers are not for household trash.
