(Ithaca, NY) – The Tompkins County Department of Recycling and Materials Management is announcing fee changes that will take place beginning January 1st, 2025. The Solid Waste Annual Fee will increase from $80 per residential unit to $82 per unit. Additional fee changes will affect all users of the Recycling and Solid Waste Center (RSWC) as follows:

- $15 for 0-333lbs.
- $30 for 334-666 lbs.
- $45 for 667-999 lbs.
- There will be one $15 disposal coupon for all residential vehicles (sedans, SUVs, and minivans). This coupon does not cover trucks, altered loads, and trailers. The Category 1 coupon for sedans will no longer be utilized.
