In addition to a Permit ($55/$95), a Punch Card ($65/$75) will need to be purchased to avoid a fee each time you use the facility.

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.
No refunds will be granted to anyone who purchases a Permit regardless of the time of year or Circumstances surrounding such refund request.
