ORS/The Exchange rolls out more improvements at “the dump” this week, announcing a significant expansion of the hours the Orcas Transfer Station is open to the public.
“We’ve heard from a lot of people that it would be helpful if the station were open more often, as it was several years ago,” says Pete Moe, Executive Director. “Our goal is to improve the services here, so we decided to give it a try.”
Beginning Thursday October 24th, the Orcas Transfer Station will be open to the public five days a week, Thursday to Monday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Further expanding access and convenience, ORS/The Exchange announces that Wednesdays, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. the Orcas Transfer Station is now open to account-holding contractors only and will be closed to non-commercial traffic.
It’s not just the hours that are better—the prices are too: For self-haulers garbage in now $7.00 per can, down from $12.00. Recycling is now $2.00, down from $3.00.

This is why it was worth for working so hard to put ORS in charge. We are very pleased with the changes, and amazed at the changes that have been made, and with how smooth the transition has been.
Keep up the wonderful work!!
