2013 Information

Anyone electing to use the Transfer Station must have a Permit.  Each Permit holder will be issued a sticker for their car and should be placed behind the rear view mirror so it is clearly visible to the attendant.  Additional car stickers for multi-vehicle households can be purchased for $10.00 each.

In addition to a Permit, a Punch Card must be purchased to avoid a fee each time the facility is used.  The Punch Card will be “punched” by the attendant depending on the quantity of refuse brought to the Transfer Station. The number of “punches” is determined at the discretion of the attendant.  Each punch card allows for the disposal of the equivalent of fifty – two 30-gallon bags. If you forget your punch, a fee of $2.00 per bag is assessed.

Residents may purchase as many punch cards as necessary.  Remaining “punches” at the end of the year are rolled over to the following calendar year.  NO REFUNDS will be granted to anyone who purchases a permit regardless of the time of year or circumstances surrounding such refund request
