Attention!

Beginning June 1st, 2026

  • For a schedule of dates please contact either town clerk or speak with the transfer station attendant.
  • Stickers will cost $3.00 each and may be used on any sized garbage bag (one sticker per bag).
  • Stickers will be sold at the Town Clerks’ offices and at the Wheelock Store.
  • Payments will no longer be accepted at the transfer station.
