Supervisor Jeff Pratt - Hired: 1989 • Keith Chase - Hired: 1995 Supervisor Jeff Pratt oversees, a very well organized and exceptionally clean, solid waste operation that serves over 2,000 homes and businesses.

We thank you for your 33 years of dedication to our Town. Keith Chase has been working at the Transfer station for nearly 27 years, always going above and beyond to help anyone who comes through the station.
