🚨 Transfer Station Update 🚨

We’ve got a schedule change to share — and this one’s here to stay!

At last night’s Board meeting, a decision was made to keep uniform hours year-round for the Transfer Station. That means no more seasonal switch-ups to keep track of 🙌

🕒 New (and now permanent!) Wednesday hours: 8:00 – 10:00 AM

That’s right — we’re sticking with the winter hours all year long. No more guessing, no more calendar reminders… just the same reliable schedule every week 👍

We know change can take a minute to get used to, but we’re excited to simplify things for everyone!

As always, thank you for helping keep our community clean and running smoothly ♻️

📢 Snowmobile Sticker Inventory Update

Due to a mix-up in a recent inventory delivery, the Town of Rangeley has not yet received their latest shipment of snowmobile stickers.

Surrounding plantations have offered backup support; however, inventories are limited.

• Sandy River Plantation is currently down to 5 remaining stickers. These will be available to Sandy River residents and taxpayers only.

• We are currently unsure of Dallas Plantation’s remaining inventory.

• Rangeley is expected to receive their shipment soon.

We appreciate everyone’s patience as this gets sorted out.

Thank you for your understanding.
