Sterling/Voluntown Roxanne Gray Secretary to the Voluntown First Selectmen (860) 376-5880 Email:
gilgrimm@snet.net |
In April 1997 the Towns of Sterling and Voluntown joined the growing cadre of Connecticut Communities with pay-per-bag municipal solid waste (MSW) pricing. These towns opened a new, two-town transfer station in the Fall of 1994. It soon became apparent that the facility was receiving ever increasing amounts of garbage. The difficulty of policing out-of-town garbage and poor recycling compliance led these towns’ transfer station commission to institute a direct economic solution. Following informational meetings and public votes, both towns agreed to make major changes to the way payment for trash disposal was handled.
- Town residents pay $1.50 per bag.
- Residents can pick these town-issued bags at their towns’ transfer station in packs of five.

Stonington John Phetteplace Recycling Coordinator (860) 535-5099 E-mail: jphetteplace@stonington-ct.gov |
This municipality has had this system in place since September 1992. The original program covered residential customers for the whole town.
Residents pay:
- $.75 for a 15-gallon bag; and
- $1.25 for a 33-gallon bag.
The funds raised are used to cover program expenses, collection costs, and to pay the $60/ton tipping fee charged at the regional trash-to-energy plant. It did go to referendum as to whether or not the town would continue with this system. Residents voted almost 2:1 to keep the program.
Recently, Stonington contracted-out commercial trash hauling as well and the non-residential sector is now also covered by a PAYT program . 1) There has been no increase in illegal dumping since the program began; residents have actually commented that "things are cleaner" since the program was implemented; and 2) recycling figures are up since the onset of this program.
