2022 Punch Card Costs: $20.00/5 Punches

Effective January 1st, 2022, the price of punch cards will increase to $20 per card. 

The Madison County Board of Supervisors determined it was necessary to increase the 2022 punch card fee in order to more fully offset the costs of operating the transfer stations. Residents looking to dispose of household garbage and non-recyclable materials at our transfer stations can purchase punch cards at the Scale House or at local gas stations and businesses around the county. Recyclables including paper, cardboard, accepted plastic/metal/glass containers and scrap metal are free to drop off. 

Although punch cards have a 'Please Use By' date, all previous cards (2021 and older) do not expire and will still be honored at the transfer stations. Unused punches are non-refundable. To see a complete list of punch card vendors, please visit: www.madisoncounty.ny.gov/2468/Punch-Card-Vendors

In 2022, the number of punches required for freon-containing units (refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, etc.) will increase to 5 punches per unit and the maximum number of passenger tires allowed per visit at a transfer station is 4.


Used Motor Oil Program Update

Effective February 1, 2021, used motor oil will no longer be accepted at our transfer stations. To see a list of locations near each transfer station, check out this flyer.


Per NYS law, most vehicle service and vehicle retail businesses must accept used motor oil for recycling at no charge to the public. Call your local retailers or service centers for take-back programs and restrictions. These places include: Walmart Auto Care Center, NAPA Auto Parts, Advanced Auto Parts, O'Reilly Auto Parts and several other locations located across the county.

Test Your Recycling Knowledge with our NEW Waste Sorting Game

The ’RePlay Game’  is a waste sorting game that allows the player to drag items into the appropriate location for recycling or disposal.  There are a total of five different sorting locations: a paper recycling bin, a containers recycling bin, a trash can, a yard waste depot and a special programs building for the harder to recycle items such as batteries and clothes. 

Once you finish a level, choose a reward to create your own unique park. If you finish all five levels, print out a certificate or replay the game to learn about other materials! Test your knowledge now.

Recycling Updates as of April 2019

In 2019, we launched a new recycling campaign: 'Rethink Waste in Madison County.' The campaign includes new user friendly materials such as guides, magnets and a new search tool to highlight the current recycling program. To download the new resources, click here or visit our recycling page for information on what should and should not go in the recycling bins. As a reminder, all recyclables should be kept loose in the recycling bins, do not place recyclables in plastic bags. If you need a new recycling bin, please stop by any of our transfer stations when they are open.
