Wisconsin Landfill Tipping Fees To Increase
Wisconsin landfills have low costs which encourages waste haulers in bordering states to use Wisconsin landfills.
To help offset the budget shortfall, and for a host of other reasons, the landfill tipping fee is set to rise from $5.90 per ton to $13.00 per ton. Yikes!
Critics say the out of state haulers will look elsewhere for landfills, and that the plan won’t work to generate extra revenue for the state.
The risk to trash generators is that since this is a state tax, you’ll have to eat the cost increase should the State legislature pass the bill.
Results exceeded expectations…
Tim, Again, thank you for the excellent job you have done.
Initially, I had some reservations as to how you were going to achieve any substantial or worthwhile waste and recycling savings.
However, the results of your work exceeded my expectations and the expectations of my facilities director.
Please feel free to use me for a reference. I wish you continued success.

Warning: Waste Management Restructures Recycling Pricing
As if you weren’t battered by enough pass along costs already, Waste Management, the nation’s largest solid waste management company restructured it’s recycling pricing, passing more of it’s costs to end consumers.While I’d being doing it if I were CEO of Waste Management, it’s still a bitter pill to swallow.
What they’ve done is to install a minimum recycling processing fee. This protects Waste Management when the floor drops out on recycling commodity charges. Of course this has been the case in most recycling commodity markets in recent months.
Not satisfied with breaking even, they are also expecting a “fair return” on their capital with this move. What this mark up is, is unspecified.
Waste Management says it will still share a portion of any proceeds it makes from recycling sales, but don’t expect to see that until commidty prices recover. Even so, you need to be watchful of commodity prices and Waste Management to ensure they are making good on their word.
Every dollar counts…
Tim, Thank you for all your efforts to save money for us. Every dollar counts to help the animals. You have achieved great results and savings for us in the waste removal management of our shelter.
As promised, your process was very independent of our busy day-to-day operations. The results of your work are also excellent: 46% on recycling, 39% on trash at one location, and 17% at our other!
We also appreciate that your first initiative was to effectively handle building repairs resulting from waste
hauler damage, prior to collecting any fees.
I would be happy to recommend your organization to any prospective client. Thank you!

You and your company are saving us significant dollars…
Tim, I had never heard of the service in which your company specializes (and) I certainly didn’t realize what a significant expense waste management was.
You were able to reduce our waste management costs by 58% at one of our sites, and 24% at our other site.
You and your company are saving us significant dollars!
