Town Ordinance 306D, As Amended
Transfer Station Regulations
(amended 10-6-08, effective 11-1-08)

The town of Washington has established a transfer station on the site of the former landfill at clark road.  This facility is designed to expedite the handling of municipal solid waste, bulky waste, and recyclables as approved by the board of selectmen. 

The following rules and regulations will apply:

  • All materials deposited at the transfer station must originate within the town of Washington and be from residential properties.
  • Windshield stickers will be required on all vehicles.  Stickers must be affixed on the lower right portion of the windshield or on the small right hand window.  If the stickers are not so placed, the driver will be denied use of the transfer station.  Stickers are available at the tax collector’s office.
  • Special permits for out-of-town contractors may be obtained from the first selectman.
  • Children under the age of 12 must remain inside vehicles at all times.
  • The board of selectmen will determine the disposal fees and the type(s) of materials accepted at the transfer station. A fee schedule will be posted at the transfer station and will be based upon the current cost to the town for disposal. Fees will be payable upon delivery. Payment by check will be required for amounts in excess of five dollars. Receipts for payment will be issued prior to leaving the facility. Fees will be determined at the discretion of the attendant for amounts exceeding those posted on the fee schedule.
