The study concluded that taking over transfer station operations or accepting more types of waste would cost more than it generates because of staffing, equipment, hauling, and disposal expenses. Danvers’s current arrangement remains financially favorable, including relatively low disposal fees and a $100,000 inflation-adjusted host fee. The Board also approved Fiscal Year 2027 budget goals with added language recognizing Danvers’s historical heritage and approved a limited entertainment license for Craft Kitchen.
