YORK COUNTY SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY (YCSWA) 2026 BUDGET FEE INCREASE

The YCSWA has approved its budget for fiscal year 2026, including a tipping fee to address rising costs and to fund projects for long term system stability. The tip fee for York County processible municipal solid waste. at the York County Resource Recovery Center (RRC) for 2026 will increase to $85 per ton in response to fiscal pressures created by rising operational costs and the Authority’s obligation to prepare for the future and ensure York County’s waste is properly managed with sustained environmental protection. With uncertainty over future local landfill capacity, the Authority must prepare now to meet the future waste management needs for York County.

Under this increase, the cost of waste disposal alone for an average York County household will be less than $3.00 per week (this does not include collection costs charged by private waste hauling companies hired to provide trash removal services). The minimum fee for residents delivering waste from their homes will be $20 for up to 470 pounds.

Tipping fee revenues help fund operations of the York County Resource Recovery Center, operations and maintenance of the York County Landfill/Hopewell Area Recreation Complex, public education, community outreach efforts, and other programs aimed at waste reduction and recycling.
