The digital permit is issued by the Parking Services Agency and is managed by license plate recognition with no physical sticker to place on a vehicle and is a dual permit for both this facility and to park for commuting purposes. Residents must obtain a resident disposal/parking permit through the online permit system from the Parking Services Agency to use the Transfer Station.
