Re-Use Shop
When weather permits, the transfer station runs a re-use shop, similar to a thrift shop. We accept donations of household items for resale. Prices are by donation, and the money collected helps offset the cost of running the transfer station. Please move your vehicle forward from the high-traffic area around the bins while you visit the shop.
