Tip Fees
The following tip fees (the cost per ton of solid waste disposed of at the transfer station or in the landfill) became effective July 1, 2011:

Trash:
All out-of-county and commercial customers: $72.52 per ton
Calvert County residents with chargeable loads: $65.27 per ton

The tip fee increase is tied to changes in the Consumer Price Index under an agreement between the county and Waste Management, Inc. The agreement includes the provision for annual disposal fee adjustments, with a maximum annual adjustment of 3 percent.

The tip fees (the cost per ton of solid waste dumped at the transfer station) apply for all solid waste from commercial customers, Calvert County residents, and from out of county. The fees apply to chargeable loads* of solid waste brought to the Appeal Landfill.
