by Derrell Hayes • A change in the way waste is priced at landfill sites will cost many waste and tipper operators up to £100 extra per load and could encourage fly tipping.
Waste hauliers across the country will face a 300°. increase in tipping fees when landfill site operators start charging all waste by the tonne in line with the Landfill Tax which comes into force on 1 October.
At the moment some waste is charged by volume: many operators reduce their costs by compressing up to six tonnes of waste into a single skip.
County Environmental Services ICES), which runs all the landfill sites in Cornwall, introduced the new rates this week. Hauliers currently paying £37 (e.x-VAT) to empty a regular six-tonne builders skip now have to pay 117.15 a tonn a total of over 1120.
CES says: "Some haulitrs have been cynically and un erstanclably playing the syst m by putting three loads into ne and many are going to hay to look very hard at curr nt practices."
But John Budd, managiig director of Cornwall-based u. Mar Skip Hire. warns: "he result will be fly tipping all o er the countryside and ma ty hauliers going out of busint "I'm going to have to tak a risk and charge all skips at 1123, and hope that not all of them have the full amount of waste in."
