The Chester Transfer Station will be closed for two weeks because of human feces being dumped into the rubbish compactor again. The dates are 04-22, 04-26, 04-29, 05-03. The Board of Health has discussed this with the DEP and they have advised this closure. The contractor that hauls the rubbish compactor bin has notified the town and the DEP that they will not haul if human feces is present in the trash anymore, thus causing the transfer station to be permanently closed. Also, the facility that receives the final rubbish has also sent notice that they will not accept any more loads with feces. The transfer station is an integral part of our community, let’s all work together to keep it open. If anyone has any information, please call the Board of Health at 413-354-7781, text 413-519-3396 or email [email protected] in strict confidence.
