The Regional Landfill’s new “Pay As You Throw” program provides customers with many options, allowing residents to only pay for how much they use the landfill. Customers have the option of paying a one-time fee for a visit, purchasing a coupon book for multiple visits or buying a yearly, unlimited pass.
The new fee program provides the following options to users:
- Customers may purchase an annual pass. A pro-rated 2015 pass is available for $75. Starting in 2016, annual passes will cost $100. The purchase of one annual pass entitles the pass holder to two stickers. The stickers may be displayed in two household vehicles for access for both to the landfill. Each purchased pass comes with two stickers.
- Customers may purchase a 10-coupon booklet for $30. Each coupon is good for one visit to the landfill.
- Customers may pay $4 per visit to the Eskimo Hill landfill location only. The scale house will accept payments in cash or by check. Access to the scale house is through the commercial entrance to the landfill.
- Recyclable materials will continue to be collected for free, along with household hazardous waste and fluorescent bulbs.
Revenues from the program will be used to help pay for the facility’s operations. This is the first time that customers using the convenience centers on Eskimo Hill Road and Belman Road will pay a fee. The landfill has operated free of charge to residents of both Stafford County and the City of Fredericksburg since it was established in 1987. The facility has operated with fees charged to commercial customers. The fee program is less expensive than the average curbside recycling service, which can range from $25 to $30 per month. Revenues have decreased in recent years, and the new fees will help pay for operating costs and additional space at the landfill for waste disposal.
