Other notes
- No construction material, vehicle batteries or lithium batteries according to town price sheet. Do not apply neighboring towns' battery acceptance or county generic fee table here.
- Only plastics 1, 2 and 5 in the recycling compactor. Flatten cardboard; fluorescent lamps go in the shed, not compactor. Keep furniture in its designated dumpster.
- Remove plastic/rubber from scrap metal or the list says a $5 fee applies. Ask attendant how to prepare an item without damaging a refrigerant system or exposing hazards.
- Town service webpage confirms property stickers, additional-sticker proof requirement and Monday/Wednesday/weekend gate schedule. Office hours at 16564 Elm Street are not refuse-site hours.
- Use 16230 Village View Road from the official price list. Town Hall/office and ambulance-service addresses printed elsewhere on the town page are not the recycling entrance.
- Current county 2026 guide lists Townsend among municipalities managing recycling separately from the county program. Do not substitute county-wide special-item prices for this town list.
