Thank you
residents! In an effort to divert electronic devices
from the landfill, the town has been accepting and separating
e-waste at the landfill since August 2008. Since then,
approximately 15,000 pounds of e-waste have been diverted from the
landfill, decreasing the town's waste footprint. |
|
|
E-waste will continue to
be accepted at the landfill, and tipping fees apply. Please
continue to separate your e-waste from other waste items when
bringing materials to the landfill. |
