YORK COUNTY SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY APPROVES 2027 BUDGET WITH NO PER TON INCREASE IN THE COST FOR WASTE DISPOSAL

The York County Solid Waste Authority has approved its budget for fiscal 2027. The tip fee (cost for disposal) for York County processible municipal solid waste at the York County Resource Recovery Center (RRC) for 2027 will remain at $85 per ton.  The minimum fee for residents delivering waste from their homes will be $20 for up to 470 pounds.

The cost of waste disposal alone for an average York County household will be less than $3 per week (This does not include collection costs charged by private waste hauling companies hired to provide trash removal services).

Tipping fee revenues help to fund operations of the York County Resource Recovery Center, operations and maintenance of the York County Sanitary Landfill/Hopewell Area Recreation Complex, electronics recycling, household hazardous waste collection, secure drug take-back programs, public education and community outreach efforts, and other programs aimed at waste reduction and recycling.

The Authority facilitates responsible solid waste management through an integrated strategy that emphasizes waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and resource recovery.
