As Montgomery County takes steps to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, we at DEP are working hard to remain operational for all services. As such, we have modified the hours and operations of the Transfer Station to minimize potential exposure of the novel coronavirus to our customers and employees. Part of these modifications reflect our Hauler/Collector licensing program. As we work through these difficult times, we appreciate your understanding and request your assistance to keep everyone safe.
