Recycling and Composting at the Bernardston Transfer Station
FREE Food and Paper Waste Composting at the Bernardston Transfer Station
The Franklin County Solid Waste District and the Town of Bernardston want to remind you about the food and paper waste compost program at Bernardston Transfer Station. Residents can save money by placing compostable items into the free compost dumpster instead of into their Pay-As-You-Throw town trash bags. Click or tap here for more info!
NEW: Bernardston residents can purchase an Earth Machine backyard compost bin at a subsidized price of $25. The subsidized compost bin can only be purchased at the Solid Waste District office. Visit http://www.franklincountywastedistrict.org/composting.html for information on backyard composting and the District’s office location. The town encourages all residents to remove organic material from the trash and bring it to the transfer station collection program and/or use a backyard compost bin. Approximately 25% of household trash is organic material that can be diverted to a compost collection or compost bin.
