To pick up a resident park/transfer station sticker* (2009 - 2011), please stop by the Parks & Recreation office, the Town Clerk's office at Town Hall or the Transfer station. You will need your vehicle registration. If your address on your registration does not list your current physical address (i.e, P.O. Box #), please bring a bill showing your current address. There is no fee for the resident stickers.
*Please note that stickers can only be given to Guilderland taxpayers. For instance, if you pay Guilderland School taxes but property taxes in another town, you are not eligible for a resident sticker.
