Challenges of consolidating transfer stations in Wayland and Sudbury

Wayland Town Crier 2/18/10: Challenges of consolidating transfer stations in Wayland and Sudbury. Not everyone is pleased with the idea of consolidating transfer stations in Sudbury and Wayland. Among those with concerns is Peter Harvell, a member of the Solid Waste Management Option Committee, which had been considering solid waste disposal options for Sudbury. "We never heard the town mention the transfer consolidation when we studied options for solid waste disposal," said Harvell. "All of sudden there comes this regionalization thing that was never brought to the attention of the committee." Harvell questions if money can be saved with consolidation. Last week, Sudbury selectmen announced they are examining the feasibility of consolidating the Sudbury station with Wayland. One idea is to have the two stations share services. The stations are currently open in both towns on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The new schedule may have Sudbury open on Tuesday and Wayland open on Thursday, with the stations in both towns opened Saturday, said Board of Selectmen Chairman Bill Keller.
