Towns to test traffic before consolidating transfer stations

Wayland Town Crier 11/24/10p: Towns to test traffic before consolidating transfer stations. Sudbury and Wayland officials have proposed closing the Sudbury transfer station two Saturdays in December to test another element of criteria before consolidating the two stations, Sudbury Town Manager Maureen Valente said at the selectmen’s meeting Monday evening. “Valente and Wayland Town Administrator Fred Turkington discussed closing Sudbury’s Transfer Station for two consecutive Saturdays to see if one location can handle the traffic,” said Sudbury Board of Selectmen Chairman John Drobinski. Because both towns want to reduce the cost of municipal services by sharing and improved cooperation, they implemented the transfer station pilot project Sept. 28. The pilot program allows residents of either town to use the transfer station in Wayland on Tuesdays and in Sudbury on Thursdays. Currently, residents of each town continue to use their own transfer station on Saturdays. If the transfer station pilot project proves beneficial, Sudbury and Wayland could each save between $40,000 and $60,000 annually.
