Environmental Recovery & Fuel Fee

FAQ:  Why do we charge a fuel surcharge when the customers transport the waste to the facility?  

In addition to the increases in transporting waste from our transfer station to other outlets for disposal and/or recycling, the fuel that it takes to effectively operate and process materials within the facility to attain the highest recycling output have made us realize we need to pass along these burdening costs.

The monthly fluctuating recurring charge is based on the previous month's third full week price listed per the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Weekly East Coast Retail Diesel Prices Index and is used for a reference in the chart below.
