The District is closely monitoring the storm for Wednesday night into Thursday morning. At this time, we will be having a delayed opening at the Transfer Station to allow for our crew to do a proper clean up. We ask everyone to be patient as we make sure the station is safe for operation.

We will continue to monitor the storm and especially the winds. As of now, the stations will operate at their normal times, except for the delay. Please be aware that the situation may change.

Thank you for your understanding.

Congratulations to David’s win for a seat on FIWMD’s board of commissioners. Term January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2025

The District will once again be using one of the compacting dumpsters at the Transfer Station for the collection of Bottles and Cans during the winter months. Starting Monday, Dec. 7^th, the normal trash dumpster on the top level will be used just like last winter. Signs will be out to remind everyone of this temporary change. If you have any questions, the attendant will be happy to assist you.

The District will be increasing the price of compost and mulch:
Compost: $90 per cubic yard
Mulch: $50.00 per cubic yard

Now that we are in the windier time of year, and due to the fact we do not have a permanent structure to hold items in, on Friday, September 25th, the Waste Management District will no longer be taking small items for our swap area. All small items will be disposed of in the dumpsters. We will continue to accept large items of furniture.
We would like to thank everyone for the items brought to us and for those who enjoyed “shopping”.

As we wrap up our eight-month of accepting household organic waste, we would love to thank all those that have joined our program. You have made it the success that it is.

Here is the monthly breakdown: (in pounds)
January – 588
February – 599
March – 394 (only partial due to shut down from Covid-19)
April – (Closed all month for Covid-19)
May – 356 (partial month due to re-opening)
June – 501
July – 1062
August – 607
Total – 4107
The Pequot Inn has been doing its share to divert organics from their kitchen:
June – 223
July – 256
August – 245
Total – 724

It’s amazing that we have collected almost 2-1/2 tons of organic scraps that have been diverted from our household trash and all from a small number of volunteers in our program. It is our hope that this program will continue to grow with more households and businesses joining in.

Again, thanks to all our volunteers.
