Since September 28, 2010, the Town of Sudbury and the Town of Wayland have conducted a pilot weekday project to allow residents of either town to use the Wayland Transfer Station on Tuesdays or the Sudbury Transfer Station on Thursdays. As part of this pilot project, Sudbury’s Transfer Station has been closed on Tuesdays and Wayland’s Transfer Station has been closed on Thursdays. Residents of each town have continued to use their own Transfer Station on Saturdays. This program was part of a broader effort to evaluate the feasibility of consolidating operations at a single site.
As you may have read, the towns have decided not to pursue a consolidated transfer and recycling center at this time. Therefore, the pilot program will end the week of May 23-27, 2011. Tuesday, May 24 is the last day for Sudbury permit holders to use the Wayland facility; Thursday, May 26 is the last day Wayland permit holders can access the Sudbury transfer station. Beginning Tuesday, May 31, both facilities will be open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays to serve permit holders in their own communities.
We appreciate your patience and participation as we evaluated some unique approaches to reducing expenses and enhancing services. While the operations will not be consolidated this year, we will continue to explore opportunities to reduce the cost of solid waste disposal.
