Transfer Station Regulations

Disposal area regulations (PDF) ensure residents can use the facilities efficiently.  Use of the area is free to all residents of the City with a resisted disposal permit (see below). Contractors must pay a per ton fee to dispose of trash, leaves and branches, and other materials and must purchase coupons at the Department of Community Services counter to do so.

Residential Vehicle Disposal Permits

A disposal permit is required for each residential vehicle that uses the Transfer Station. The digital permit is issued by the Parking Services Agency and is managed by license plate recognition with no physical sticker to place on a vehicle and is a dual permit for both this facility and to park for commuting purposes. Residents must obtain a resident disposal/parking permit through the online permit system from the Parking Services Agency to use the Transfer Station. Each permit costs $10 per vehicle or $5 for residents 62 years of age or older. Please contact the Parking Services Agency with any questions at (908) 522-5100 or via email.  You may also learn more and register your vehicle.
