Tipping fees at the self-supporting Steuben County landfill and its transfer stations will increase beginning July 1.

Eric Rose, Steuben County Department of Public Works Commissioner, said the fee increase will fund the Steuben County Solid Waste Division Enterprise Fund.

The Steuben County landfill and its transfer stations, in Erwin, Hornell and Wayland, rely solely on landfill user fees to cover all operating costs, including wages, equipment and capital improvements.

Rose said the fees have not been increased since 2022 and are required to cover rising costs at the landfill and transfer stations.

The increases apply to private individuals, businesses, industry, commercial haulers and local political subdivisions within Steuben County.
