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.

All proceeds from the redeemable bottles and cans
donated at the Transfer Station
