Transfer Station Dumping Procedure / New Accounts
All haulers must open an account with the
Mercer County Improvement Authority (MCIA)
. Cash is NOT accepted at time of tipping. Accounts must be opened at the
MCIA
office at the following address:
80 Hamilton Ave
2nd Floor,
Trenton, NJ, 08611
. If you require directions, call
(609) 278-8100
Every vehicle, excluding exempt vehicles under 9,000 lb GVW, which hauls waste to the transfer station must be registered with the
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
(NJ DEP). Consequently, we cannot open an account without a valid NJ DEP number for your vehicle(s). Also, haulers must present a valid NJ DEP card to the scale-master at the time of tipping.
Fill out
application for hauler account
and bring to the MCIA offices. Tell the receptionist that you wish to open a hauler's escrow account. Based upon the capacity of the vehicle(s), the type of waste(s), and the frequency of trips to the transfer station, a deposit amount will be computed. The minimum amount is $250.00. **Check or Money Order Only! Cash is NOT accepted!
When dumping at the transfer station, you must submit a "
Waste Origin and Disposal Form
" at the scale-house FOR EACH LOAD.
If you are only tipping a single load and wish to obtain a refund of your excess deposit, contact the Finance Department at
(609) 278-8100
.
Haulers are notified that all waste flowing through the
Mercer County Improvement Authority
transfer station
MUST
originate in Mercer County, NJ. If not, you should contact the agency in charge of solid waste operations for the source county of your waste.
Haulers are to maintain their deposit balances by remitting tipping fees to the
Mercer County Improvement Authority
each time they go through the transfer station.
All haulers will receive a monthly statement. A positive ending balance indicates that there is a net deficiency in the account. A negative figure represents an excess deposit for future tipping fees is being held in escrow with the MCIA.
