Municipal solid waste disposal fees to start next year

The government will charge  $365 per tonne for solid waste disposal.

The government will begin municipal solid waste (MSW) charging on 1 April 2024, with the charges for disposal of construction waste to be adjusted thereafter.

The existing construction waste disposal charge at landfills is $200 per tonne. Upon the implementation of MSW charging, the government will charge $365 per tonne for the MSW disposed of at landfills.

The government said MSW charging is a strategy to reduce overall waste production as it encourages the community to reduce waste at source and practise clean recycling by using financial disincentives to reduce the overall waste disposal amount.
