3. What about getting a replacement permits?

If a vehicle with a permit is sold or disposed of, or needs a windshield replaced, the permit must be removed. Return it to the Wicomico County Solid Waste Office, at which time you will receive a replacement permit at no additional cost. It will come off (even if it is in pieces). We need the permit returned - no permit returned, no replacement.

4. What do I need to get a permit?

You need to bring the registration card for the vehicle(s) you want a permit for. You are allowed two permits per household as long as the two registration cards have the same address. The fee for both permits is $55.

If you live in another county or state and are within two miles of a Transfer Station, the fee will be $165. Permits will be pro-rated in January 2013, for a fee of $30.

The items listed above will not be accepted at any transfer station. They must come to the landfill on Brick Kiln Road and go across the scales and be paid for by weight. The fee is based on $60 per ton ($0.03 per lb.). The hours for the scales are from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Monday through Saturday.

6. What are the general rules?

Once the permit(s) are purchased, they are your responsibility. If they are lost or stolen, Wicomico County will not be held liable. You would need to purchase new permits at the same price of $55. The permit must be attached to your windshield. It can be placed on either side of the windshield in the lower corner or on the windshield behind the rear view mirror (as long as it is not in a shaded area). If the permit is not attached to the windshield, you will not be allowed to unload.

The permit is registered to a certain vehicle and the permit number must match that vehicle. They cannot be transferred from one vehicle to another. The Tag Number from the registration card will be put on your permit. We reserve the right to view all registration cards. This permit is for household trash only! Permits found on improper vehicles, or being used to haul commercial trash, are subject to suspension and/or a fine of $100 to $1,000. Commercial being any business; even a business at home such as chicken house, woodworking, farming, etc.
