Stickers and Fees |
Stickers As of August 1, 1991, residents of St. Mary’s County must obtain a Residential Disposal Permit Sticker to use the St. ![]() Permit Application To obtain a Permit Sticker, the applicant must have the vehicle registration, complete an application, and provide the necessary proof of residency either in the form of a valid driver’s license, lease- rental agreement, tax bill, or military service identification. The Solid Waste Residential Permit applications are available at all Convenience Centers, the Scale House Facility at the St. Andrews Landfill, and the Department of Public Works and Transportation. A sample permit is available for viewing on-line to ensure citizens are aware of the information needed to complete an application. Sticker Fee At this time there is no charge for the stickers. Stickers must be affixed on the lower, left-hand corner of the vehicles windshield. Environmental and Solid Waste Service Fee On May 15, 2007 the Commissioners of St. Mary's County adopted Ordinance No. 2007-04 which established an Environmental and Solid Waste Service Fee. The established annual rate is $60 per dwelling unit and will be imposed on all improved residential properties effective July 1, 2007. Billing and collection will be performed via the County Treasurer's Office on the property tax statements as a separate item, with payment either received or postmarked before December 31 of the year in which the fee is due. The purpose of the fee is to assess a portion of the costs associated with the availability of solid waste disposal and recycling services to the community. The fee may be adjusted via Resolution by the Commissioners of St. Mary's County prior to June 1 each year. Disposal Fees Residents self-hauling solid waste, rubble or yard waste to the St. Andrews Landfill Facility will be assessed at $10.00 per standard pickup truck load (approximately ¼ ton). Effective July 1, 2006, loads in excess of this amount will be weighed and assessed at a rate of $65 per ton. Effective July 1, 2012, a new discounted Green Waste fee rate of $40 per ton was implemented for oversized loads of yard waste. The Department of ![]() Commercial Accounts Commercial haulers wishing to dispose of rubble at the St. Andrews Landfill Facility must be inspected by the Department of Environmental Health as a part of the County's annual application process. Currently, the landfill is closed to commercial haulers for the disposal of solid waste. The Department of Public Works application and corresponding pre-numbered vehicle identification stickers are assigned at no cost to the haulers. ![]() |
