Wilmot’s Transfer Station is located on Route 11 and is operated by two Transfer Station employees, under the direction of the Road Agent.  The Wilmot Transfer Station is available to Wilmot residents only.  Each vehicle should have a current Transfer Station sticker clearly visible to the attendants (driver’s side rear, if possible).  Stickers are available from the Town Clerk’s Office or the Selectmen’s Office.

To reduce disposal costs, the Selectmen encourage everyone to reduce the amount of waste they produce by composting your food scraps and recycling as much as possible. The Town pays per pound to dispose of waste and this is paid for by tax dollars.  Lower your taxes by practicing the three R’s:

• Reduce
• Reuse
• Recycle
