On July 1, Georgetown County implemented the first in a series of annual increases to landfill tipping fees. The per-ton fee increased by $1 on July 1 and will increase by $1 annually over the next two years. The fee will then increase by $1.50 annually in 2028 and 2029 before moving to an annual 3% increase.
The updated fees will help align the cost of disposal with actual expenses.
The tipping fee schedule is as follows:
| Effective Date | Increase | New Rate per Ton |
|---|---|---|
| July 1, 2025 | $1.00 | $46.00 |
| July 1, 2026 | $1.00 | $47.00 |
| July 1, 2027 | $1.00 | $48.00 |
| July 1, 2028 | $1.50 | $49.50 |
| July 1, 2029 | $1.50 | $51.00 |
This fee adjustment applies to both solid waste and construction & demolition debris. Beginning in FY29, tipping fees will be adjusted annually by 3%.
