July 1 marked the beginning of a new era at the Wilton Transfer Station. Electronics, plastic containers, CFLs and other types of items are now accepted for recycling. Many items may be recycled free of charge. Also, the vehicle permit sticker required to use the Transfer Station is now free to Wilton residents. In previous years, a Transfer Station sticker cost $35.00 per vehicle.
A list of items accepted and applicable fees is provided on the new Transfer Station web page, along with comprehensive information about recycling and solid waste disposal in Wilton, such as a list of licensed waste carting companies.
During June, Wilton households received a brochure from the Town containing one free Transfer Station vehicle sticker. Each household may also apply for one additional permit sticker. Details may be found on the Transfer Station web page.
First Selectman Bill Brennan urged residents to make Wilton a "recycling leader to assure an environmentally safe and sustainable future for our community." The Wilton Department of Public Works and the Conservation Commission played a key role in bringing about the new recycling program.
