The transfer station has partnered with the Trex Plastic Film Recycling Program to provide special bins to accept: grocery bags, bread bags, bubble wrap, dry cleaning bags, newspaper sleeves, ice bags, plastic shipping envelopes, zip-lock and other re-closable food storage bags, cereal bags, case overwrap, salt bags, pallet wrap and stretch film, wood pellet bags, produce bags. As with all recycling, the materials should be relatively CLEAN. These items must go in the specially marked bins and NOT mixed with Zero Sort. Trex does NOT accept pet food bags, mesh/net produce bags, pool covers, frozen food bags, candy bar wrappers, chip bags, six pack rings, vinyl shower curtains (see transfer station employees if you have questions). In 2024, Wallingford residents recycle 5,288 pounds of plastic!! Congratulations
If you know of residents who are in need of financial assistance for housing expenses, there are many state-wide programs available that are easy to access and have literally hundreds of millions of dollars behind them. Vermont Leagues of Cities and Towns (VLCT) compiled a list of resources in this document: Housing Resources for Vermonters in Need
Vermont Veterans’ Home officials requested towns post links on municipal websites to VVH’s website in order to help increase awareness about the programs offered to service men and women. For more information, visit http://vvh.vermont.gov/
