ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19

Solid Waste

This was a good year at the Transfer Station. We did a lot of encouraging people to recycle, and we could see the results of their efforts. In January, China closed their door on the import of eight types of postconsumer plastic scrap. So far, this has not created any disruption in the #1 and #2 plastics that we send out for processing. The landfill was recently surveyed as requested by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). They will be reviewing the report and will make a determination on how much more construction demolition debris can be placed in it. We stopped sending our scrap lumber out this year, instead, we put it in the landfill. This may have to be reinstated if the DEP requires the closure of our landfill. Separating our scrap metal materials continues to yield good results. Our total for the year was $9786.33. This year, I will be retiring from my position as Transfer Station Manager. It has been a great place to work. I would like to thank all those who use our facility for their efforts in recycling.
