Yarmouth prepares for ‘pay-as-you-throw’ trash program

FORECASTER • October 11, 2022

A “pay-as-you-throw” waste disposal system in Yarmouth is scheduled to go into effect in January upon completion of upgrades at the town transfer station. The Yarmouth Town Council unanimously voted in 2019 to approve the pay-as-you-throw program in an effort to improve recycling rates, stem rising costs of recycling and trash disposal, and pay for needed improvements at the transfer station.
