Made under the
Waste Minimisation Act 2001, Section 45 - Determination of Fees

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 45 of the Waste Minimisation Act 2001 (the Act) allows for the responsible Minister to determine waste fees for the ACT.

This determination revokes the previous fee determination (DI2015–85) that set fees for the 2015-2016 financial year and establishes fees from 4 April 2016.

The mattress recycling fee (2.0) is proposed to increase from $12.50 to $33.00 to recover the increase contract costs associated with recycling mattresses in the circumstances where mattresses are dropped off at Resource Management Centres. Additional services are available where customers can drop-off mattresses directly to the recycling facility at $23.00 per item or have mattresses collected from a residence at $29.50 per item. 

The determination takes effect on 4 April 2016.
