Each vehicle registered in Eliot will be issued a Transfer Station Permit. These expire annually every July to a new year. Vehicles not registered in Eliot will have to get a permit from the Eliot Board of Selectmen. Temporary Permits can be issued at the Town Hall or from the Manager at the Transfer Station. The information below are things we recycle or take in at the Transfer Station.

GLASS: We take all colored glass, bottles; returnable or non-returnable. They need to be washed, cleaned, and put in their marked area.

Plastic Bottles: At this time, we take all returnable plastic bottles. Clear milk jugs and water jugs are processed in the 1st bailer by the door and colored #2 plastic goes in the rack outside. (Laundry jugs, white hood jugs, etc must be cleaned and rinsed out)

Cardboard: Cardboard goes into the 2nd bailer. It needs to be dry and clean.

E-Waste: E-Waste is television, computers, electrical parts, etc. These can no longer go in our trash. There is a fee for this material because of hazardous waste in them. They have to be hauled off by an experience hauler.

Steel: Most steel can go into the steel pile at no charge. There is a charge for white goods, washers, dryers, stoves, air conditioners, refrigerators, dishwashers, furnaces, freezers, de-humidifiers, and hot water heaters. Some of these units need to be re-processed before put into steel pile. All motors, lawn mowers, and transmissions need to have the oil drained before dumping. There is a $10.00 fee for most of these units.

Brush Pile: Presently we burn brush and clean painted wood. This may stop due to the cost of having the ash removed. We are looking at other options to run the burn pit.

Aluminum Cans: We take returnable and non-returnable cans, go into #3 bailer.

Paper: Paper is one of the things we would like to get out of the waste stream. It weighs a great deal and is recyclable. We take a great deal of paper waste, all paper, newspapers, junk mail flyers, telephone books, magazines, catalogs, etc.

Salvation Army Bins: These bins can be used for toys, clean clothes, boots, shoes, and complete games.

Motor Oil and Filter Bin: We take clean motor oil and oil filters.

Hazardous Waste: Each year Eliot holds a Hazardous Waste Day. On this day, you can bring in household hazardous wast material such as oil base paints, gas, etc.

Bulky Waste: We have a demo can to remove bulky waste. This is a user fee demo can for sofas, living room chairs, mattresses, box springs, carpets, and construction debris. See attendant for fee schedule.

Mulch Pile: This is for grass, leaves, and other compost material.

Shingles: We take shingles from Eliot residents only. There is a user fee charge for this material.
