Sandwich Transfer Station
 
Facility stickers are available at the town hall for 2025-2026. Facility stickers are required for use of the Transfer Station. Stickers are available for purchase at Town Hall, by mail or by drop box.
Sandwich Transfer Station hours are Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 8 am to 4 pm. Please arrive at the Transfer Station at least 15 minutes before closing to allow for unloading and closure for the day. Kevin and John appreciate being able to close on time. Reminder: if you are recycling larger cardboard, please be sure it is cut to a maximum size of 4' x 4'. Larger pieces jam up our compactors!
 
Thin Film Plastic Recycle Program Ends
 
The plastic Recycling 'Trex' Program (thin soft 'film plastics) at the Transfer Station has ended as of Columbus day weekend. We couldn't find a replacement volunteer. Of course the larger dumpster solid plastic recycling (including # 1, 2 & 7) will continue. 
However, don’t stop the good habit of bringing this plastic to a Trex bin. You can bring it to Hannafords in Meredith (& most store locations). The bins out front to collect this plastic aren't always labeled Trex, but the manager stated that they are part of their program. There will be a large poster at transfer station 
as a reminder to redirect your thin plastics.
Recycling is a very worthwhile endeavor if, indeed materials go to a better destination than landfill and Trex has created a near-perfect solution with plastic composite for building materials. 
For any recycling program to work, however, is a community enterprise, depending on two things:  
 1. Finding dedicated volunteers to run the program
 2. How compliant the participants are; we found about 3/4 of the plastics did not belong or were contaminated (as we all know, plastic is the most complicated material to recycle).
The good news is that many people in Sandwich did a great job in bringing clean, thin plastic to the Trex bins. Thanks to you and 2 1/2 years of volunteer time, Jim, Marin & Dwight saved the town close to 400 25 gal-size bags of soft, thin plastic from the trash dumpster (and loose in our environment) hundreds of years of breaking down into microplastics, possibly leaching into soil and water (some landfill containment is better than others). THANK YOU ALL!

North Sandwich Friends Meeting invites friends and neighbors to join their weekly Meeting for Worship from 10:00 to 11:00 am on Sunday at the North Sandwich Meetinghouse (354 Quaker Whiteface Rd., N Sandwich, NH 03259).
Meeting for Worship is a time of quiet listening to the inner voice of spirit, God, the Light within –whatever term one uses—in community with others. We sit largely in silence for an hour; friends who are deeply moved to share an insight may rise and do so. Most Sundays, a very brief reading is offered reflecting Quaker values or history, which may provide a common focus for reflection. After the meeting, friends share individual reflections and announcements with each other.
