Tipping Fee
Tipping fee
The fee charged by the owner or operator of a landfill for the acceptance of a unit weight or volume of solid waste for disposal, usually done by the truckload. The tipping fee is passed back along the chain of waste acceptor to hauler to generator in the form of fees or taxes. Tipping fees rise as the volume of available landfill space is depleted, or as it becomes harder to open new landfills due to public opposition and stricter environmental regulations.
