Transfer Station

 To reduce crowd-size, the Transfer Station hours have been temporarily expanded:

JUNE 1 - SEPT. 30

(for the summer months)

Mondays & Wednesdays 4 pm - 8 pm

Saturdays 8 am - 4 pm

You must own residential property within the Town of Spafford to obtain a Transfer Station permit.

Transfer Station permits are available either at the Town Clerk's office or by mail with a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a check made payable to Lisa Valletta, Town Clerk.  Currently, the fee is $30.00.  The fee for 2022 Permits will be $50.  No more than two decals will be issued per property address.  Permits are not sold at the Transfer Station.

The Permit is valid for one year.  Your renewal is determined by the month of the original purchase: if you purchase a Permit in March, it must be renewed by March 31 each year.  The year on the Permit is the expiration year.

QUESTIONS?: Please contact Supt Jody Fisher 315-730-6747

ELECTRONICS ARE NOT  ACCEPTED FOR DISPOSAL AT THE TRANSFER STATION

OCRRA provides a guide for recycling electronics on their website 

At various times through the year Sunnking  hosts free electronic waste collection events

Disposal of more than eight tires will incur an additional fee at the following rate per tire:

• 15” or less ...  $2 each 

• 16” and larger ...  $5 each

• Tractor tires ...  $10 each

REFRIGERATORS, DEHUMIDIFIERS, FREEZERS, AND OTHER ITEMS CONTAINING  FREON

Disposal of an item with refrigerant/coolant requires payment of an additional $10 fee per unit.  This fee is to be prepaid to the Town Clerk.  A sticker will be issued and is to be applied to the unit prior to disposal. 

Use a tarp when transporting your trash in an open vehicle (i.e. pick-up truck or trailer) to prevent items falling out or being blown out of your vehicle. 

All open vehicles entering the Transfer Station must have a tarp covering the materials.  Tarping prevents trash or recyclables from becoming litter on our roads.  It also prevents customers from being fined upt to $1,000 by the NYS DEC.  Untarped vehicles may be refused access to the Transfer Station.

In towns with a total population less than 20,000, (Spafford population is 1,686) you may burn tree limbs with attached leaves. The limbs must be less than 6 inches in diameter and 8 feet in length (also referred to as brush).

However, this is not allowed from March 16 through May 14 due to the increased risk of wildfires.

Alternatives to open burning.
