Transfer Station Charges:

The fee you pay at the Transfer Station covers some of the cost of running and looking after the landfill, litter in the district, and managing old dump sites. User-pays also means that the people who MAKE the rubbish have to PAY to get rid of their own rubbish - and thus other ratepayers who utilise different ways to reduce their rubbish e.g. free recycling, are not subsidising others through their rates.
