To Use the Transfer Station/Recycling Center:
Town of Norwich residents are required to obtain a Town of Norwich Recycling and Waste Management Resident Permit for vehicles (windshield sticker) yearly as of July 1, 2011. These permits are good for the entire fiscal year, from July 1 through June 30. This permit allows residents to use the Zero-Sort recycling and to dispose of trash at the Transfer Station / RecyclingCenter. Trash fees are still applicable. A coupon book for 10 bags of garbage is $30.00 ($3.00 per bag). The price per individual bag at the Transfer Station is $3.50. You can purchase resident permits and trash coupon books at the Town Clerk’s Office or at the Transfer Station.
