2011 - Town of Warner

Transfer & Recycling StationIn 2011 the multi-year plan of improvement for the Transfer Stationcontinued with the construction of a new loading dock, expansion ofthe parking area, and interior modifications to the main building. Thesedevelopments should contribute to the safety and efficiency of the operationwhile allowing the facility to handle an increased throughput.With the completion of a new containment bunker this past fall webegan to segregate asphalt roofing shingles from the construction anddemolition waste stream. Such segregation will reduce our disposalcost and allow the recycling of a material once sent to a landfill.In the past year we discontinued the burning of brush and lumber.Incineration as a means of disposal is dirty, costly, and time consuming.Brush now brought to the facility is chipped and composted. Salvageablelumber is being made available to the public for reuse. If inthe past you have disposed of your stove ash at the brush pile pleasenow deposit it in the steel ash cans provided.Our thanks go out to the Warner Highway and Police Departments fortheir support this past year. The highway department contributed manylabor and equipment hours to help bring many of the aforementionedimprovements to fruition.Leaving us this past year was our longtime volunteer Ed Pickard. Inhis over ten years of service Ed processed many tons of material; ourthanks and best wishes go out to him.Respectfully submitted,Varick Proper - Foreman82
