What is the impact of increasing tipping fees to $170 per ton?
The additional cost for Chesapeake would be approximately $9.7 million. This amount is in addition to the $12.9 million currently paid to SPSA for residential waste disposal. Other localities paying the tipping fee will have similar increases. The plan calls for increasing the municipal waste tipping fee from $104/ton to $170/ton for Chesapeake, Franklin, Isle of Wight County, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Southampton County.
