Published-rate snapshot

Tipping fees by state

State medians are calculated from collected facilities with published per-ton tipping fees. They are not statewide averages of every disposal facility.

Published fee data is being collected

No verified state medians are available yet. Official facility rate schedules are being collected and checked before figures are published here.

Report a Published Fee

Calculated median published per-ton tipping fee by state, based only on collected source records.
State	Median per ton	Published rates used	Sources

Medians use only collected facilities with a published per-ton fee. Each contributing rate retains its source and checked date. Facilities without a published per-ton rate are excluded from the median.

Independent price research, not a quote. Figures are prices published by the source named, checked on the date shown; your price may differ.

Disposal cost comparison

Compare published fees for your load.

Choose a state, material, and load type to compare collected facilities using their published rates.

The calculator uses available per-ton prices, minimum charges, and published vehicle-flat rates. It does not invent missing rates or assume an unpublished load weight.

If a published schedule does not support a reliable calculation, the tool explains what is missing instead of showing a guessed total.

How tipping fees work

A tipping fee is the charge a disposal facility assesses for accepting a load of waste. The billing method depends on the facility and material.

Per-ton tipping fees

A facility weighs a load and applies its published weight-based rate. A separately published minimum charge may apply to small loads.

Learn about per-ton fees

Flat fees and minimums

Some facilities charge published rates by vehicle or load category. Others use a minimum charge even when the weight-based total is lower.

Understand flat-rate pricing

Special material charges

Tires, mattresses, appliances, construction debris, and green waste may have separate fees, surcharges, or acceptance restrictions.

Browse fees by material

Material-specific fees

Find published fees by material

Material pages show only facilities whose collected official schedules publish relevant fees or surcharges. Pages with no collected records display the collection status without making up prices.

Published sources, not guessed prices.

LandfillPrices is an independent research directory. A facility is added only when an official published fee schedule has been collected and its source and checked date are recorded.

Unpublished fees are not filled in with estimates. Reported changes and corrections are reviewed before any listing is updated.
