Westport Announces Temporary Change At Transfer Station

From the Town of Westport: Director of Public Works Peter Ratkiewich announced that the Westport Transfer Station, located at 300 Sherwood Island Connector, will NOT be accepting residential recycling the week of Feb. 4 – 9. Additionally, for the safety of all Town residents, the Transfer Station will close at 11:00 am on Tuesday, February 5.

Due to the complex nature of the Compactor #2 replacement project, residents are requested to hold back their recycling for the one week period while the compactor is being replaced. This will allow for the safe and efficient replacement of the compactor. The Public Works Department will be notifying all licensed refuse and recycling haulers of this temporary change in normal operating procedures.

The Department of Public Works thanks the residents of Westport for their anticipated cooperation as this necessary upgrade to the Transfer Station is completed.
