Refuse Site Permits

All refuse & recycling collection sites are closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays

2024 Residential Refuse Permits are available beginning October 1st, 2023. The 2024 permits will be valid from the date of purchase through December 31, 2024.

The permits utilize a radio frequency identification system (RFID) that allows the permit to be scanned for validity at each site. This system allows customers to renew the same permit for as long as they own the vehicle that it is originally placed on provided they pay the annual fee. The fee is currently $75.00 per year. The RFID system makes replacing a permit much simpler. If a customer requires a replacement permit due to trading a vehicle, loss of a windshield, or an accident, they can order a replacement with a phone call or e-mail to the Landfill office. The RFID will allow a permit to be switched off electronically so that customers no longer need to return the old permit for a replacement.
