Where can I get a permit to use the City of Summit Transfer Station?
The City of Summit Transfer Station (trash, recycling center and leaf compost area), located at 40 New Providence Avenue, is open to residents Tuesday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. It is for use by all City residents who possess a valid vehicle ID permit.

The permit may be purchased for $10 per vehicle, or $5 per vehicle for Seniors over 62 years of age, with proof of your residency, vehicle registration and insurance card at the Parking Services Agency (City Hall, 2nd floor, 512 Springfield Avenue) where you will receive a permanent permit immediately. If an independent contractor is hired to haul away storm debris (excluding tree trunks, stumps, logs, or construction debris), they must purchase a commercial coupon (pass) from the Department of Community Services (DCS), City Hall, 2nd Floor, 512 Springfield Avenue, prior to entering the Transfer Station.

If you are using someone else's vehicle (other than your own), please present proof of your residency and the vehicle information to DCS in order to receive a free temporary pass.

Should you have any questions, please contact the Department of Community Services at 908-273-6404 or SummitDCS@cityofsummit.org.
