All programs at the Gleason Road Transfer Station are now open, except for Hazardous Waste.
HAZARDOUS WASTE DROP-OFF
Beginning Tuesday, June 23, anyone with an RCSWD permit may schedule an appointment to drop off hazardous waste at 14 Gleason Rd in Rutland. Appointment times are half-hour slots between 11 AM and 2 PM Tuesdays through Saturdays (subject to change and availability).
RCSWD will visit each district town’s transfer station to collect household hazardous waste (HHW) on specified Saturdays. Due to the Covid-19 environment, we have instated new requirements for your participation in this program. These include: prepare a list of HHW to drop-off before arrival, remain in your car until the collection staff allow you to exit, and abide by limits for dropping off reasonable quantities. Please read the following post to see the revised schedule, and before bringing your HHW for drop-off.
STARTING TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 2020, the Regional Transfer Station at 14 Gleason Road will re-open our programs to accept freon-containing appliances and clothing & shoe donations. See below for what specific items will be accepted or not.
You must unload materials yourself. As we evaluate the success of opening this program, maintaining safety, we will look at when to resume other programs. A slow turn of the spigot will get us through these challenging times together. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We aren’t a publicly traded corporation, but we do strive to make a profit so we can improve our services to better support our members. With every investment and capital gain we make, your town’s “share” in our assets increases.
The chart below shows that Mount Tabor’s proportional share in our expenses and income results in a net gain over the past two years. This will allow us to invest in better equipment, such as an excavator and an online permitting system, and return money to our members as we did this year.
How does the District operate?
As you can guess by our name, we are a union municipal district (similar to a school district) that provides administrative, planning and auxiliary services for our members. Just as a Supervisory Union ensures that each school is in compliance with state and local regulations, we do the same for our member-towns’ transfer stations, haulers and businesses. Beyond that, we provide resources and technical assistance to ensure that everyone has access to necessary solid waste management options.
Mount Tabor’s Success in the District
Mount Tabor is the town with the smallest population in our district, but we continue to maintain a relationship to serve the residents. We have also been communicating with town clerk and transfer station attendant through the COVID-19 crisis. Stay tuned for our digital compost workshop in the Spring!
