Summary

The Transfer Station crew published spring and summer instructions for refuse and recycling drop-offs. The notice addressed overnight hopper use, acceptable plastic and glass, cardboard preparation, and reservations for large loads.

Evidence limits

This is a newspaper guidance notice, not a complete solid-waste ordinance or operating manual.
