Disposing of your trash and recyclables in Windsor requires an annual "car sticker", and there are fees to dispose of various items. Car stickers cost $75 annually and are available from the Town Clerk during their office hours along with a check payable to "Town of Windsor". New stickers are required by July 1 each year.

You will need to fill out and can send this form [pdf] to:

Transfer Station Permit

1890 Route 9, Suite 2

Windsor, MA 01270

Swap Shop (Windsor Mall)

One person's junk is another's treasure!

Visit the Swap Shop when you visit the Transfer Station.

Drop off stuff you don't need and find a treasure. Kids welcome!

Sharps

You can bring medical sharps (hypodermic needles, epi-pens, syringes, etc.). There is a sharps container inside the "mercury shed", or ask the attendant.

Medication Disposal

Not at the transfer station, but available at the Police station (lower level of Town Offices). Peel off or scribble over personal id info and drop the meds in the secure box. Don’t keep old meds around the house. It’s easy to dispose of them in the secure box.
