Access Stickers & Day Passes

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

Access stickers can be purchased at the scale house during regular business hours, Monday through Saturday. These stickers provide access to the facility for low-cost disposal fees, free recycling, and free composting of food scraps.

An access sticker (or day pass) is not needed to drop off appliances, batteries, books, brush, leaves, fluorescent bulbs, cardboard, electronics, hazardous waste, paint, scrap metal, and textiles. However, please note that disposal fees may apply for some items. Additionally, an access sticker is not required for purchasing compost, topsoil bags, or bulk compost and topsoil.

Day passes are priced at $15 and remain valid from the time of purchase until closing on the same day. To make the most of your day pass, we recommend buying it earlier if you anticipate multiple trips. A day pass is required for recycling, compost drop-off, household trash, and construction waste if the resident does not have a valid access sticker. Additionally, out-of-district contractors working in district towns may purchase a day pass to dispose of trash and construction debris.

Access stickers are available for $60 and are valid for one year, from July 1st to June 30th of the following year. Stickers for the upcoming year go on sale starting May 1st. Stickers purchased in May will remain valid until June 30th of the following year. Any stickers bought between May 1st and December 31st will be sold at the full price of $60.

New for 2025, we will offer a pro-rated access sticker for $35, from January 1 to June 30, 2025. (this cannot be purchased until 1/1/25 or later). 

If you enter the facility without a sticker, you may be asked to show a picture ID.
