Please be advised that on January 1, 2010 the tipping fees charged at the MCMUA transfer stations were increased by 4%.  The previous tipping fee of $86.90/ton for the disposal of most waste types was increased to $90.38/ton.  Likewise, the tipping fee for special waste types (type 10C non-regulated medical waste and type 27 non-hazardous industrial waste) was also be increased by 4% from the previous tipping fee of $115.50/ton to $120.12/ton.  See the tipping fee chart below for details.  The tipping fees listed below include all taxes and fees including the $3.00/ton New Jersey recycling tax where applicable.

While the MCMUA regrets increasing the tipping fee, it should be noted that the previous tipping fee increase instituted by and for the MCMUA was in February 2007 when the price was increased to $83.90/ton.  Later, in April 2008 the State of New Jersey added a $3.00/ton recycling tax onto the tipping fee resulting in the price increase to the current $86.90/ton.  Finally, the MCMUA is facing increased contractor and disposal costs associated with operating the transfer stations, and the MCMUA is undertaking a capital improvement program to keep the transfer stations safe and efficient.
