New schedule at transfer station

Delano Transfer Station has a new weekly schedule, as of March 1.

Regular hours are now 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays. The dump is now closed on Sundays and Mondays. 

The new schedule gives the attendant a full weekend instead of splitting days off on Sundays and Wednesdays, according to Electric City Deputy Clerk Ashley Landeros, and may be easier for the public to remember.

“I think this is a better schedule for a lot of reasons,” she said.

The Regional Board of Mayors sought the change to make a job more attractive to prospective employees for the transfer station.

The Transfer station also now has a phone number that rings through to its scalehouse.

Recycling drop-off (except cardboard) is available outside the gates seven days a week.
