Moultonborough Transfer Station
I was looking at the town website for the Transfer Station and it didn't seem to offer much information unless I missed it. I was wondering if they take things like air conditioners, old TV's etc. Also can you recycle all types of automotive fluids there? Is there a fee for this stuff over and above buying the yearly window pass? I bring everything home with me now and never utilize their services, haven't been in there in a good 15 years. Thanks!

"Dump Picking"

The one thing I miss was in times past is the "Dump Picking". Talk about GOOD STUFF CHEAP! For years I supplied My IT department with usable PCs, Monitors and Printers. Some are still in use today. Bring back the good old Days! |

The best part is that they have a MONEY view, it's very scenic...doesn't quite seem like you're at the dump (I stress the word quite)

Transfer station attendants ---
Are exemplary. 30 years ago, or so, they were grumpy men.

I remember a guy who use to run the transfer station (he has since passed away). Many people thought he was grumpy. Unfortunately I can not remember his name, but I know his name was not Clarence. I do remember how much he loved his granddaughter. One year he bought her a horse.

Moultonborough refuse gardens....
The Moultonborough transfer station does take waste oil. They heat with it.
The place is spick and span and the staff are helpful and courteous. It is my social event of the week! Always someone to chat with and I always pick up some business while there. During the busy "tourist" season I am under a gag order from the guys because they say that I slow up the flow! Misty Blue |

In 2007 we tore down a "mobile home" on our lot in Moultonborough. My husband took the one-piece bathtub to the transfer station and the attendant asked, "1982?" My husband said, "Excuse me?" The attendant replied, "Is your trailer a 1982? I have the same bathtub." LOL...we bought ours in 1983...amazing!

August 1 - hazardous waste day in Moultonborough
This Saturday (8/1), you can get rid of hazardous waste from 8:30 till noon at the Moultonborough Town Garage, off of Moultonborough Neck Road. Things like drain opener, floor cleaner, oven cleaner, roofing tar, cesspool cleaner, pesticides and more will be accepted. No latex paint, tires, or radioactive waste. This is a good time to clean out behind the garage.
Check out the details at this web page: http://moultonborough.org/Pages/Moul...8CC75-000F8513

I think "spot checking" is a little extreme I don't need (or want) someone "checking" my rubbish. I mean come on...

DPG, I think the guys would prefer to not do so as well, but if they did not we both know more recycling would go in the trash and we would pay more to get rid of it!
