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.<\/span><\/p>\n

In public areas like Mariner’s Wharf, the blue containers are for bottles and cans, and the trash containers are not for household trash.<\/span><\/p>\n

While there is no charge for household trash we do charge for solid waste.\u00a0 Town-issued punch cards, available at Town Hall and the Transfer Station, are required for payment of solid waste disposal. More information about punch cards is available on the link below:<\/span><\/div>\n
