Tipping Fees

A tipping fee is a charge levied for disposal of waste and is based on weight and type of material.  Tipping fees apply to "controlled waste", refuse, and demolition, land clearing and construction waste (DLC).  The fee to dispose of refuse and demolition, land clearing and construction waste in other than small loads* is $57 per tonne or a $5 minimum charge per load.  Load weights are measured on scales provided at the landfill.
