Window Stickers
Customers who want to use the Site must display a current BPU Yard Waste Site sticker on the rear driver side window of their vehicles. One sticker is available per BPU Solid Waste residential account.
Use of the window stickers allows BPU employees to identify BPU Solid Waste residential customers. Ensuring that non-BPU customers are not using the site helps to control the cost of the service.
There is a limit of one sticker per account for the two-year period. Lost stickers will not be replaced. If you are switching vehicles or your sticker is damaged, please bring the sticker into the BPU Customer Service Office to exchange for a replacement sticker.
Obtain a Sticker
A current yard waste sticker is required and available at the BPU Customer Service Office.
