Online Transactions

Access to the Winchester Transfer Station is now being offered for sale through an online secure portal managed by the Winchester Town Clerk's Office. You can purchase your permits for the transfer station online in a few quick and easy steps. The Town Clerk's Office is also available for In Person Sales. However, we are encouraging online requests for faster service.

Please know that we will be processing the permits on a daily basis and will review and approve (if all documentation is submitted accurately). Once reviewed for accuracy the system will approve your License Plate and upload to the License Plate Reader camera located at the Transfer Station. There no longer will be a sticker affixed to your vehicle(s). Should we need more information after you submit your payment staff will contact you via email with specifics. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Winchester Town Clerk's Office at 781-721-7130 Press #1 for Town Clerk or email townclerk@winchester.us

For those residents needing Low Income Permits you can use this system as well. If you have any questions relating to Low Income and/or Commercial Hauler Permits you can reach out to the Health Department at 781-721-7121 or email healthdept@winchester.us
