Trash talker chinese1/4/2024 The China Transfer Station has a very good reputation state-side due to the great job the staff does. We also take any and all clean cardboard. If they are clean and still work, let them know.ĭon’t forget we also have a paint section. If you have toasters, TVs, small ovens, mixers, etc., please find an attendant and they will happily help you place them where they belong. Only clean clothes, shoes, pocketbooks can go into the “Apparent Impact Container.” Thank you for doing good.Ībsolutely no electronics are to go into the “Free For Taking” building. Glass and plastic items: please no dirt and moldy dried-on food.There was a time when some of us would take lots of dirty items home to wash/clean them and bring them back for someone to give them a new home. It would help immensely if everyone dropping off “good stuff” would bring it in clean. It’s a tall order during the cold months. This is taking stewardship.Īlso, thank you to the ladies who have volunteered through the China For A Lifetime Committee to help keep the “Free For Taking” building in better order we don’t want to lose this amenity.

Just so you know, we are scheduled to send our first load of trash to Fiberight/Coastal in June 2019. (Thank you to China Boy Scout Troop and their leaders as they help us each year.) Please contact Irene 445-2349, Sheldon 445-2712, or the town office to volunteer. NOTICE: For safety and health reasons PLEASE DO NOT toss any medicines into the flush. Keep watch in The Town Line or check on the China town office website for a date for the KSO drug drop, roadside cleanup weekend and whatever else we can come up with for spring cleaning to make life a little easier and help to keep China, Palermo and Maine roadsides nicer for all of us. The good work you all do is very much appreciated and does not go unnoticed.Īlso: there is a rumor out there that “Springtime is on the way”! Of course, they could be reused as wastebasket liners or other trash and then tossed in with the regular trash. Effective March 1, 2019, and until further notice, we will not be recycling any plastic bags so there will not be a barrel at the recycling station for them.
