The Regional Waste Levy
All disposal fees that relate to residual waste going to landfill will now have a Regional Waste Levy (RWL) amount applied. The RWL amount that has been agreed by the eight northern member councils is $3.50 per tonne (GST is not applicable to the amount charged). This amount has been added to the disposal fees as well as any other increases associated with the review.
