NOTICE TO POULTNEY RESIDENTS
RE: BOTTLE DRIVES AT THE TRANSFER STATION
At a regular Selectboard Meeting held on Monday, September 22, 2025, the Selectboard voted unanimously to stop hosting bottle drives at the Poultney Transfer Station. The board cited the congregation of people, traffic impediment, public safety, and other things, during bottle drives. The Transfer Station is meant to be a transactional place allowing for the orderly flow of people using the facility for its intended purpose: accepting municipal solid waste, recycling, and other items, in a timely and efficient manner. The board encourages entities that wish to hold bottle drives to work with other appropriate places to safely and orderly collect bottles from the public.
