Come join us. You need not have a transfer station sticker or be a Chatham resident to recycle on Saturday, May 19th, 10am-2pm.
There will be educational displays, free giveaways, and fun for all!
Textile/ Garment Recycling – there is a new bin at the Transfer Station. This accepts all clean and dry textiles. And when we say all, we mean all – single socks, stained t-shirts, ripped jeans, shoes the dog chewed, sheets, towels, hats, scarves, gloves, holey rags, undergarments – seriously! The items can be damaged as long as they are clean and dry.
