Any size contribution would be greatly appreciated.

New Compost Rules

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

Casella Waste Mgt. notified the Town the location where your compost is hauled to no longer accepts paper, bones, compostable bags, compostable utensils or liners. Wallingford residents are no longer allowed to dispose of these items in the compost bins at the Town’s transfer station. If you purchased compostable bags, you may use them to carry your food scraps to the compost bins, but you must throw those bags out after emptying your food scraps into the bins.

Recycle Cardboard

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

Transfer station employees would like to remind Wallingford residents Zero Sort can only accept cardboard 36 inches or less. Larger than 36 inches clogs up the unit. Transfer station employees would appreciate it if residents cut down cardboard to the appropriate size before you arrive at the facility as it will help operations flow smoothly and employees are not given that task.

Your cooperation  is very much appreciated.
