Glastonbury Transfer Station to Accept Only Cash, Checks Saturday Due to Fiber Outage

GLASTONBURY, CT — Glastonbury residents planning to visit the town's Transfer Station and Bulky Waste facility this Saturday, Feb. 7, should be aware of a temporary change in payment options. Due to a planned fiber outage, the facility will only be able to accept cash and check payments for services.

The Department of Sanitation announced the payment restriction on Feb. 4, stating that credit card sales will not be processable during the outage period. The fiber outage is scheduled to last from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.

The temporary change is necessary because the facility's credit card processing systems rely on the fiber network, which will be down for maintenance. Town officials are asking for residents' understanding and flexibility regarding this inconvenience.

Residents who typically use credit cards for their transactions at the Transfer Station or Bulky Waste facility will need to bring an alternative payment method for their visit on February 7. The Department of Sanitation confirmed that all other services at the facilities will operate as usual.

For any questions or additional information regarding the payment changes, residents are encouraged to contact the Department of Sanitation directly. The department can be reached at 860-652-7772.

The town aims to ensure minimal disruption while necessary infrastructure work is completed.
