Online Permit Process is LIVE!

We had taken the results from our survey to create an Online Permit process to renew or purchase a Gleason Transfer Station Annual Permit at the comfort of your home!

Gleason Transfer Station Permit holders can now purchase their Permit Online at https://pay.eb2gov.com/RutlandCountyVT

Permits are to be renewed annually for the calendar year (January 1st to December 31). Credit cards and checks will be accepted. If you do not have access to the internet, you will need to call the administration offices at (802) 775-7209 from 7:00am to 4:00pm for information on obtaining your annual permit.

To assist you in this process please have your debit/credit card or blank check & Vehicle Registration of the vehicle you will be using to visit our Transfer Station handy when doing your application. After you purchase your permit, you will receive an email with your payment receipt and a link to your annual permit. Print it & bring it with you each time you go to the transfer station. You will be asked to show it each time!

You may also visit us at our Admin Office at 1 Smith Rd, Rutland VT, 05701 to purchase your annual permit. Click on the link to BUY your 2021 permit: https://pay.eb2gov.com/RutlandCountyVT
