RECYCLING CENTER: CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
TRASH: OPEN

The Recycling Center at the Ellsworth Transfer Station is closed until further notice while the facility’s baler is out of service.

The Transfer Station remains open for trash disposal.

The same baler used for cardboard is also needed to process other recyclable materials, including newspaper and tin cans. Until the equipment can be repaired and staff have an opportunity to clear and clean the Recycling Center, we are unable to accept recyclable materials at the facility.

Please Do Not Leave Recyclables at the Transfer Station

We know holding onto recyclables at home is inconvenient, but we are asking residents not to leave cardboard or other recyclable materials at or around the Recycling Center while it is closed.

Materials left behind create additional challenges for staff and can block access to the building.

If you are able, please keep recyclables clean and dry and store them in a covered location until the Recycling Center reopens.

We appreciate your patience — and especially your help by holding onto recyclables until our team is able to accept and process them again.
