A commercial hauler is any person, organization or business that hauls materials to a solid waste disposal facility for others for a fee, and/or any person, organization or business that, as a function of either a for- profit or nonprofit venture, routinely disposes of large amounts of household contents /trash.
2. RECYCLING IS MANDATORY. Glass must be separate from all other recyclables. The Winchester Transfer Station reserves the right to inspect trash bags for compliance based on reasonable suspicion that they contain recyclables
3. The Winchester Transfer Station accepts only waste generated in the towns within the district (Winchester and Richmond NH). The facility reserves the right to open and inspect trash bags for compliance based on reasonable suspicion that materials may have originated outside the district.

Users who have had their privileges revoked may appeal the decision to the Winchester Solid Waste District Advisory Board, which may be contacted through the Winchester selectmen’s office.
