Above: The Town is giving advance notice of work that will temporarily impact normal operations at the Transfer Station in a few weeks. (image cropped from notice)
Southborough’s DPW issued a notification today of plans to “repair” the Transfer Station Trash pit. The work is scheduled for approximately 1 week beginning March 4, 2024.
That doesn’t mean you won’t be able to dump any trash during that window.
There will be bins set up for refuse. But they won’t accept “large items” or loose trash. And the process could prompt longer lines than usual, including to access the recycling area, especially on Saturday, March 9th. So, plan accordingly.
The DPW notice explains the process that will be temporarily in place:
PROCEDURE
A row of small dumpsters will be aligned along the stone retaining wall near the transfer station building (see map by clicking the image below). Cars will pull up adjacent to the dumpsters and will unload their waste into the dumpster.During this time ONLY bagged trash or barrels will be accepted, NO Large Items will be allowed
SAFETY
Your safety is our priority! Accordingly, please be patient and proceed as directed by the onsite attendant. You may be requested to wait while other vehicles are being off loaded. Do not try to maneuver your vehicle around other users to get into the open space. Stay in line and wait your turn.If possible adjust your schedule to come by Wed. – Fri. or expect delays on Saturday. We will have additional personnel available to assist if needed.
Anyone with questions is encouraged to contact the DPW Office at 508-485-1210.
