MCMUA Transfer Station Tipping Fees

Transfer Station Tip Fees

Users first weigh their vehicles at the scalehouse prior to dumping their garbage on a tipping floor. The vehicle then gets weighed-out at the scalehouse to determine the weight of the waste dumped. The cost is calculated and deducted from an established account or payment by check is required at that time. Click on "Setting Up A Transfer Station Account" for more information regarding payments. Cash and credit cards are not accepted.

Tipping Fees Decreased as of February 1, 2013 - On February 1, 2013, the tipping fees charged for the disposal of most solid waste types at the MCMUA transfer stations was decreased by $2.00/ton. Additionally, the use of historic special waste type 10C (non-regulated medical waste) has been eliminated and the MCMUA currently accepts this type of non-regulated medical waste as type 10 waste with the corresponding $93.92/ton tip fee. Finally, type 27 (non-hazardous industrial waste) is now also charged the same tip fees as other waste types as the tipping fee was decreased from the 2011 tipping fee of $127.47/ton to $93.92/ton.

All disposal fees include a host community benefit of approximately $5.15/ton. The host community benefit is comprised of a $4.50/ton benefit paid directly to the host communities plus a 10% discount on the waste the two host municipalities tip at the transfer station. This 10% discount spread amongst all the tons tipped at the transfer stations ranges from approximately $0.60/ton to $0.70/ton and fluctuates based on the relative amount of waste tipped by the host communities versus the tonnages from all the other transfer station customers.
