MCMUA Transfer
Stations The information below is a listing of
frequently asked questions regarding the use of the MCMUA transfer stations for disposing
of waste.
|
| Q. |
What forms of
payment are accepted for disposing of waste at the transfer stations? |
- Infrequent User: If you use the transfer
stations less than 3 times per year you can pay for your disposal each time by check as
you weigh out at the outbound transfer station scale. The check must be accompanied
by two forms of identification. The transfer stations do not take cash and they do
not take credit cards.
- Frequent User: If you are a frequent
user of the transfer stations, more than 3 trips per year, you must open up an account
with the MCMUA, deposit money in the account
and maintain the required minimum balance.
The minimum balance will be established individually for each account and will be
an estimate of the cost of two (2) average days of disposal. Once your account
balance falls below the required minimum balance you will be denied access to the transfer
stations until additional funds are deposited into your account. It is therefore
suggested that you plan to maintain balances significantly above the minimum to prevent a
disruption in service. Account payments must be made by check and
mailed or delivered
to the MCMUA's administrative office. The address is listed at the bottom of the
page as well as link for directions Account payments
are not accepted at the transfer stations.
| Q. |
Can any truck
be used to dispose of waste at the transfer station? |
- Virtually all types of trucks can be used to transport waste
to and dump waste at the transfer stations but most trucks will be required to have an
NJDEP decal on them to access the transfer station. The only exception to
having an
NJDEP decal on your truck is if you are delivering your own waste self-generated in your
home and the vehicle registered with DMV as having a gross vehicle weight
of 9,000 lbs. or less and the vehicle does not have
commercial plates on it.
Important, do not rent, borrow or use a truck that weighs more than 9,000
lbs. or has commercial plates on it to deliver waste unless it has an
appropriate NJDEP decal on it. Any truck over 9,000 gross
vehicle weight or that has commercial plates on it will not be permitted to dump its load at the transfer station if it does
not have the appropriate decal on it. Click here for more information about
NJDEP decal requirements or call the NJDEP directly at 609-292-7081.
In addition, unless the waste you are hauling is self-generated from your own home
or place of business you are required to obtain an NJDEP hauling decal. This is
regardless of the weight of the vehicle.
