Kent’s Transfer Station is located on Maple Street (Route 341 East) and is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Access to the transfer station is by permit only. The permit is valid only for the delivery of personal household garbage generated in the town of Kent.

Recycling items, as defined below, must be placed in the specified areas. Recycling as much as possible will help to keep transfer station costs down.

Changes at the Transfer Station

The long awaited arrival of single stream recycling has finally come to the Kent Transfer Station. What this means is that the consumer has to do less sorting. It will now be done
at  the end. Starting immediately we will be accepting recyclables as follows:

* All paper,cardboard,magazines,newspaper,cereal boxes,phone books, paperbacks will
now be recycled together in what was the cardboard compactor.

* All cans,bottles ,plastics # 1-7, aerosol cans, juice cartons, etc will be recycled together
as co-mingle. We ask that you try to keep deposit containers separate for the
KCS Scholarship Fund. And please rinse food containers.

* Garbage is still taken as before.

We call this semi single stream and feel it will work best for our facility at this time. All these
items will be trucked to a facility in Willimantic where they will be sorted.
See the operation at www.williwaste.com


Please pass the word. It is now easier than ever to recycle and half the price of curb-side
pickup.


Permits are issued once a year and the cost for each permit is $150.
This fee is prorated.

To receive a permit, complete the permit form and bring it to the Selectmen’s Office along with a check payable to the Town of Kent.
The office is open Monday through Friday  9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
If you wish to apply by mail, you must include a self-addressed stamped return envelope along with your application and check and mail it to the Selectmen’s Office, P.O. Box 678, Kent, CT 06757.

When you receive your tag, please hang it on your vehicle’s rear view mirror so it
is visible to the transfer station attendant. There is a $5.00 fee to replace lost or damaged permits.
