The Town requires a Trash Sticker on each bag.  The stickers are $3.00 each.  You may purchase them at the Town Office or at the Franklin Trading Post.  Please place the stickers on your bags.  All solid waste must be bagged.

The town raises $5,000 from Property Tax for the operation of the Transfer Station.  We appropriate $10,000 from Unexpended Funds (Surplus).  The rest of the costs incurred are paid from the purchase of Trash Stickers or more simply put – the people that use the Transfer Station.

While municipal solid waste is not everybody’s favorite topic, we all generate it.  We have a clean uncluttered Transfer Station.  Let’s keep it that way.  It takes all of us to do our individual part.

Summer Hours include Wednesdays in July and August.  The Selectboard may extended the Wednesday ‘Summer Hours’ to open earlier in the year and stay open later into the fall.
