Please see below for good transfer station practices:

Stop at the stop sign & wait for the attendant(s) to signal you into the station.
Use of an open box or clear plastic bag is required for all recyclables (no black bags).
Use of totes is strongly discouraged due to weight constrictions.
Keep your bags at 40lbs or less for ease of handling.
Keep in mind, recyclables on the left; household waste on the right.
The attendants will waive you forward when they're ready.
After they weigh your items, the attendants will give you a receipt that says what the charges were and tells you what the remaining balance is on your card. This receipt is the best way to know what your current balance is!

Frequently Asked Questions - Transfer Station

What are your hours of operation?

The Transfer Station is open Monday and Wednesday 4pm-7pm and Saturday 9am-4pm. To add money to your transfer station balance, the Town Clerk's Office is open 8:30am-4:30pm Monday-Friday or you can add money online with a credit or debit card (See the "Transfer Station Funding" button near the top of this page).

There's a holiday coming up. Will the Transfer Station be open?

Please check the top of this page for holiday hours and closing notices. We typically post a few days before a holiday, or as soon as we're aware of any schedule changes.

What do you accept at the Transfer Station?

Most things are accepted. Things that are NOT accepted are hazardous waste and commercial construction materials (no businesses or contractors please). For items that we do not accept, we recommend checking with the Ontario County Sustainability Department (ontariocountyrecycles.org) because they host recycling events throughout the year and may be able to help.

I just want to get rid of a (tv, couch, mattress, computer, lumber, yard waste, etc.) one-time thing. Can I still use your services?

We are not set up as a one-time use. Yes, you can use the Transfer Station as a one-time drop off, but we don't encourage it. There is a recurring $10 annual fee, and you do still need to set up an account before you can use the services ($30 minimum). You're not restricted from using it as a one-time drop off, but it is not encouraged. If you decide you'd like to do that, please see the Town Clerk's Office before going to the Transfer Station the first time so that we can establish an account for you. We highly encourage checking with the Ontario County Sustainability Department to see if there are other resources available for one-time drop offs.

Is there someone that can help me unload my vehicle at the transfer station?

Yes. The Transfer Station employees are very kind and always willing to help unload :)

I want to use the transfer station for the first time. How do I start an account? Do I need an account?

Yes, you must have an account in order to use the Transfer Station. Please visit the Town Clerk's Office to create an account. We will go over the transfer station rules, give you cards for the Transfer Station, and get you ready to go!
