The Punch Card will be “punched” by the attendant depending on the amount of bags you have. The number of “punches” on the card is at the discretion of the attendant. Each Punch Card allows 52, 30 gallons bags to be disposed of.  If you forget your Punch Card, you will be charged $1.00 per bag. 

If there are any remaining “punches” on the Punch Card at the end of the year, you will be able to use your remaining punches when you purchase the next annual Permit.
