Starting March 21st and ending March 31st, the Town of Chester waives fees for household trash received at the Transfer Station. There will continue to be charges for Construction & Demolition debris.
The Transfer Station is open regular hours 5 days a week. Patrons are asked to process their own trash and recyclables. Patrons who do are not able to do that may ask for assistance of the attendants.
We also ask Patrons to maintain proper social distancing and to take all precautions to ensure our Transfer Station employees stay healthy. They are providing an essential service we owe them the greatest amount of respect.
The Town Board's priority at this time is to protect the health of our community and to support our residents and businesses to the greatest extent possible.
