Charlestown Transfer Station Closing Early for Christmas Holiday

The Town of Charlestown notified residents on December 18 that the Transfer Station will operate on a modified schedule for the Christmas holiday. The facility will close early at 4:00 PM on Wednesday December 24, be closed on Thursday December 25 and Friday December 26, and will reopen on Saturday, December 27, 2025. The town advised residents to plan disposal and recycling trips accordingly and to observe the holiday closure schedule.

This announcement matters to households and small businesses that use the Transfer Station for regular refuse, recycling, and disposal needs. With the facility closing early on Christmas Eve and then remaining closed for two days, residents who normally rely on late week visits will need to adjust their plans to avoid accumulating waste or making unnecessary trips. The town’s notice urged advance planning but did not specify changes to hours beyond the noted early closure and weekend reopening.

Municipal waste services often face higher volumes around major holidays as households prepare gatherings and dispose of wrapping and packaging. By posting the closure in advance, Charlestown provided the basic schedule residents need to reschedule drop offs before the holiday or wait until the station reopens on Saturday. For further questions residents can use the contact information provided on the Town of Charlestown news page.

Local officials did not include additional operational details in the notice, such as staffing changes or extended Saturday hours, so residents should assume regular hours apply when the station reopens unless the town issues a follow up update. Observing the posted schedule will help reduce congestion when the facility reopens and limit safety risks associated with unattended material at the site.

The town’s straightforward advisory follows a common municipal practice of temporarily altering solid waste operations for major holidays. Residents are encouraged to check the town news page for any later updates and to plan disposal and recycling trips before the early closing or after the scheduled reopening on December 27.
