The tip fees are made up of three parts: council charges, the state government’s compulsory waste levy and GST.
The council charge covers the costs to operate the facility, including labour, materials, equipment and fuel and processing costs.
The waste levy is set by the state government in the environment protection act, which council must collect from customers to pay the state government. The waste levy in 2024/25 is $132.76 per tonne of waste received. The levy will increase to $169.76 per tonne on 1 July 2025. The Waste levy is intended to encourage waste generators to look for ways to reduce the amount of waste they generate and send to landfill and help reduce waste.
