Dear Applicant,

Pursuant to Chapter 205, Article 2 (Recycling) & 3 (Solid Waste Mgt.) of the Putnam County

Code (including all pertinent local laws) and in accordance with Title 1, Article 27 of the New York

State Department of Environmental Conversation, and the Putnam County Solid Waste Management

Plan, any organization that transports waste generated or disposed of within Putnam County must obtain

a permit from the Putnam County Department of Health on an annual basis. An application or renewal

may be denied by the Department for the failure of the applicant to properly complete the annual report

as provided in §205-20, paragraph B, titled “Permits for Transporters of Solid Waste” (see attachment

2).

In order to obtain a valid permit and permit stickers, this application (which includes annual

reporting forms) must be completed in its entirety and returned to the Department for approval, along

with the annual fee of $ 200.00 by certified check or money order made payable to the Putnam County

Health Department. This feel covers up to five permit stickers. Additional stickers will be provided for

$1.00 each. Once the Certificate of Registration and permit stickers are obtained, the stickers must be

displayed prominently on each of the permitted vehicles. Failure to comply with all sections of the

Putnam County Codes & Local Laws will result in permit (s) being revoked, enforcement actions

pursued and penalties incurred. Permits will expire on the last day of February of the following year.

Renewal applications received after February 15th, will be subject to a late fee of $50.00.

Please be advised, as a condition for the permit, the Putnam County Department of Health shall

require the transporter to complete the annual report forms, including volumes and nature of waste

products, including recyclables, disposed of and the place and manor in which waste products were

finally disposed, and such other information the Department may require. Failure to submit such

information shall result in the automatic denial of the permit application.

The information requested in this application is to allow Putnam County to properly gauge the

size and nature of it’s solid waste stream, waste generated or disposed of in Putnam County, and to

assess the type and variety of services available to manage it as required by the New York State

Department of Environmental Conservation in accordance with the New York State Solid Waste

Management Act of 1988.
