Allenstown will fully reopen its transfer station later this spring after nearly a year without solid waste disposal. Residents approved a warrant article a few weeks ago allotting $150,000 âfor the purposes of solid waste collection and disposal for Allenstown residents at the Transfer Station.â The money allows the Highway Department to resume trash services at the station, which initially shut down the majority of its operations when the town went into a default budget in 2025.
Road Agent Chad Pelissier, who runs the Highway Department, is in the process of talking to different vendors and determining the best path forward. If all goes according to plan, the transfer station could be back up and running by the start of May, barring any delays on contracts and such, he said.
âI think we have a board now that understands what the townâs looking for, and I think if theyâre patient with us, we can bring back a lot of what theyâre missing,â Chad said. âIt might take a little bit of time as far as the recycling end of it goes.â
