 BAY AREA TRANSFER STATION AND RECYCLING REPORT

2022-2023

Hello People of Machias and surrounding towns,

First, a big thank you to my co-workers Dennis Cobb and Reagan Smith and to the
Public Works Crew: Mike Schoppee, Larry Armstrong and Denny Farley, who
have been so helpful in bringing me up to speed over these couple of busy months.
Likewise, to Donna Grieser, who established such a friendly and cooperative
rapport with all of you that has made stepping into this job so much easier.

Nearly thirty years ago, the Town of Machias began the process of closing the old
dump, capping the landfill and building the Transfer and Recycling Center that
exists today. Since then, the scales and office have been added to better serve the
community. Soon a new (reconditioned) horizontal baler will be installed that
should make the processing and sale of materials you currently recycle more
efficient. Currently recycling: cardboard, newspapers & magazines, #2 colored and
#2 natural plastics. There’s no charge to you for these items, nor for scrap metal or
tin cans that you toss in the metal bins.

One piece of the Transfer Station Plan from way back in 1994 has yet to be
realized a “Swap Shop”. One of my goals for the coming year is to listen to your
suggestions on how to create and manage such a project for the purpose of
redirecting reusable items and materials from the waste stream and back in to the
life stream. I welcome your ideas for this and any other upgrades that will make
B.A.T.S. more user-friendly and efficient.

Sincerely,
Pat Anderson
Transfer Station Director
