 *In accordance with DEEP regulations and to maintain as pure a waste oil stream as possible for use as heating oil at the Ledyard Highway Garage, waste oil delivered to the Transfer Station must be poured into the collection tank by the Transfer Station attendant. Because the attendant must remain at his post to direct traffic and handle fees at the entrance gate in a way that maintains flow, residents are required to leave waste oil at the disposal location for the attendant to process after the close of business. Therefore, any containers that residents want to retain must be retrieved after such time. Since this is typically an inconvenience, residents are encouraged to transport waste oil to the Transfer Station in disposable containers. If this results in a hardship due to certain circumstances, (e.g., large quantities in large containers), residents should contact the Highway Superintendent at 860-464-9060, extension1, to make special arrangements for disposal.
