Attention Buxton Recyclers:

On July 1st, the Buxton Transfer Station transitioned to a single-sort recycling facility. This means that when residents drop off their recyclables, they will ALL be thrown into what used to be the trash compacter. It’s important for our residents to understand that we have repurposed the trash compactor into a single-sort recycling compactor. This area is now for recyclables only – not trash!

All recyclables including paper, cardboard, glass, and all plastics numbered 1 through 7 are now mixed and placed in the compacter. We do ask that residents keep metal cans separate if possible as this helps increase our metal income.

If you have any questions about how your recyclables are handled, please ask! We’re happy to explain the new single-sort system to you. Representatives from ecomaine will be on-site at the Transfer Station on Thursday, August 7th from 8 am – 12 pm to answer any questions about the changes. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to implement our new system and thank all the residents of Buxton for their recycling efforts.

Thank you,

Greg Heffernan

Transfer Station Manager
