PULASKI – The Oswego County Department of Solid Waste opened the doors of its newly renovated transfer station on county Route 2A in Pulaski on Monday, November 9.

Renovations to the building include an addition with an updated office and control room, employee restroom and handicap-accessible service area for customers. The guardrails around the compactor have been upgraded and the top two inches of the tipping floor were removed and replaced with new concrete. The entire building was cleaned and painted; which included sandblasting the structural steel.

“The most important thing about the repairs to the transfer station is the improved safety and convenience for our residents and employees,” said Legislator Fred Beardsley, District 9, chairman of the Oswego County Legislature’s Infrastructure and Facilities Committee. “Previous hazards, such as holes in the tipping floor, have been eliminated and the higher guardrails are much safer.”

When the main building was closed for renovations, residents used the recyclable compactor for trash disposal during business hours. The recyclables were collected throughout the day and compacted after hours for delivery to a processing facility the following morning.
