Transfer station stickers will increase by $10 in the coming fiscal year, the selectmen decided Wednesday. Currently $90 for the first vehicle, and $80 for the second, the primary permit will now increase to $100, while the second will remain at $80.
The selectmen noted that it costs the town $290,000 to run the transfer stations and costs are going to rise. Permit fees do not cover the expense.
“People have to realize they have to stop buying so much junk and throwing it away,” First Selectman Matt Riiska said. “I can only say, ‘Please purchase wisely and recycle as much as you can.’”
