Recommendations

The KEETF is recommending that the Board of Selectmen consider the following suggestions:
  • Creating a recycling only permit for $75/year
  • Creating new signage for the transfer station
  • Instituting a user contract that must be signed in order to receive a permit
  • Empowering the Transfer Station attendant to enforce the transfer station regulations and user contract
  • Transition to using clear trash bags for all trash
The committee has created a draft for a user contract based on what our neighboring towns are doing. 

Our aim is to increase the percent of recycling in the town of Kent.
Currently, only 17% of the garbage being brought to the transfer station is being recycled; the goal is 35%.
