Tipping fee’s will increase at waste facilities in Wellington County at the start of the new year.
County council approved a recommendation to increase the tipping fee from $145 per tonne to $160 per tonne.
A waste tipping fee is a tonnage based fee charged to users of waste facilities dropping off loads of garbage which is typically determined by weighing a vehicle before and after the load of waste has been disposed.
Das Soligo, the County’s Manager of Solid Waste Services says not keeping pace with the trend of increasing fees runs the risk of steeper future increases in order to catch up at a later date.
