Outside City Limits Residents: Those living outside the city of Seymour limits wishing to utilize the transfer station, may do so by creating a “Garbage Account” through the City of Seymour utilities department.

This account allows you to use the transfer station at the same rate as a resident. Billing will occur monthly and due date for payments will be the 18th of each month.
Fees:
Tarp Fee
There will be a Tarp Fee enforced for all loads brought to the Transfer Station either completely without a tarp and for those inefficiently tarped. Tarps need to cover the load completely so that no litter is able to escape. The Tarp Fee is $25.00 and will be billed to the utility account holder.
One-Time Dump Fee
Loads that are not accompanied by an account holder will be allowed to dump only once. The name of the individual and the vehicle license plate number will be recorded so that they may not be allowed to use the transfer station again without an account. The One-Time Dump Fee will be $40.00, cash only.
