Over the past year, Durham's recycling and the solid waste program have become an area of concern.  Recycling markets have dramatically changed and this has had an impact on the Town budget.   The Town Council's goal is to balance costs while following environmental best practices.  To achieve this goal,  residents need a clear understanding of  Durham's solid waste program. 

 

The Durham Town's Transfer and Recycling Center located at 100 Durham Pont Road open to residents and collects waste and recyclables.   A free Durham transfer sticker is required to use it and can be picked up either at  Town Hall or the Durham Public Works Office.  The Transfer Station is open Tuesday and Saturdays 7:30 AM-3 PM.    Members of the Integrated Waste Management Advisory Committee have put together this guide to help residents effectively use the Transfer Station.
