Residents must obtain an annual permit sticker for $30, which allows for the free disposal of recyclables like paper, glass, and yard waste. However, disposing of household trash and bulk items such as appliances, furniture, and mattresses requires prepayment of specific fees. Crucially, the facility does not accept any payments on-site; instead, users must pay via the online portal or with cash or check at City Hall. Those who pay online are required to bring a printed receipt to present to the station attendant. The guidelines emphasize that the site is strictly for residential use, prohibiting any waste generated by commercial activities.
