**Update March 17, 2020**

Transfer Station Hours Expanded

In response to the evolving public health emergency, and in an effort to minimize crowding at the transfer station, the Department of Public Works will be adding Monday hours to the customary Wednesday and Saturday schedule.  Effective Monday, March 23rd, the facility will be open Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.   Per our earlier messages, the swap table program has been indefinitely halted.

Thank you to our DPW staff for suggesting this accommodation.  We are all trying to adapt as we go.  Public feedback about the Town’s public health emergency response efforts are greatly appreciated.

======================================

**Update March 16, 2020: Due to the current Public Health Crisis related to the Coronavirus outbreak, the Swap Table Area at the Transfer Station will be closed until April 1.  The decision for this temporary closure is to reduce the potential spread of the virus.  Other activities at the Transfer Station such as Trash & Recycling drop-off will continue normally.  We appreciate your patience and understanding at this time.  We will issue updates as the situation progresses.  

DPW Office will be closed, and issuance of Transfer Station Stickers will be temporarily suspended until April 1, 2020.
If you have any questions, please call the Lincoln Department of Public Works at 781-259-8999.
