Access Stickers & Day Passes

Access Stickers ($60)*       Single Day Pass ($15)** – Good for one business day only

These stickers allow access into the facility to take advantage of low-cost disposal fees, as well as free recycling and free composting (food scraps). Both are available for purchase at the scale house at any time during regular business hours, Monday through Saturday.

No day pass or access sticker is required to drop off appliances, batteries, books, brush, leaves, fluorescent bulbs, cardboard, electronics, hazardous waste, paint, scrap metal, and textiles. Disposal fees will still apply in some cases. Neither are required to purchase compost, topsoil bags, or bulk compost or topsoil. Print a current fee list here.

Day passes cost $15, and are valid from the time of purchase until closing on that same day. To take full advantage, we recommend purchasing earlier in the day if multiple trips may be needed.  A day pass must be purchased for recycling, compost drop-off, household trash, and construction waste if the resident doesn’t have a valid access sticker. Out-of-district contractors working in district towns may purchase a day pass to dispose of trash and construction debris.

Access stickers are $60, and are valid for one year beginning July 1st through June 30th of each year. The following year’s stickers go on sale on May 1st. (Stickers purchased in May are valid until June 30th of the following year) Stickers purchased any time between May 1st and December 31st are sold at full price. New for 2025, we will be offering a pro-rated access sticker for $35, from January 1 to June 30, 2025. 

You may be asked to provide a picture ID if you enter the facility without a sticker on or in your vehicle.
