Notes on landfill charges from Nelson Tasman Regional Landfill Draft Business Plan 2025-2026: |
|
|
*This charging table includes charges for Class 3 waste that meets the criteria that allows it to be disposed received at Eves Valley. Disposal at Eves Valley landfill will be by appointment only. HAIL, hazardous material and contaminated soil requiring disposal to York Valley Landfill remains at the general waste rate. A separate charge is maintained for Sawdust and Light wastes (not including loads of polystyrene) at York Valley landfill. This rate will remain at $375 per tonne. The intended outcome of this higher fee is to encourage the reuse or diversion of Sawdust and Light wastes from landfills. This Sawdust and Light waste fee accounts for the difference in density and lack of compaction of sawdust and other light waste loads have when compared to general refuse. The fee better reflects of the value of airspace consumed by sawdust and light wastes. Light wastes are wastes that - in the opinion of the NTRLBU and its operators - are significantly less dense than general waste. For example, wastes that contain more than 25% polystyrene by volume. |

Notes on landfill charges from Nelson Tasman Regional Landfill Draft Business Plan 2026/2027: |
|
|
This charging table has changed to reflect increased rates associated with general waste, and a continuation of the rate for contaminated soil disposal at Eves Valley landfill. The fee table also include escalated charges for light waste and polystyrene. An additional fee category has been added for a minimum load to compensate for the administrative cost associated with very small loads being discharged. This minimum load charge equates to a load approximately 300 kg. It is anticipated that this will reduce the number of very small loads, as some loads will be aggregated. NTRLBU expect this to result in a small reduction in traffic at the landfill. An administration fee has also been added to reflect the costs associated with activities such as fixing mistakes that have been created by the customer or replacing key fobs that have been lost by customers. The fee will incentivise companies to take responsibility for their actions rather than relying on NTRLBU to fix issues. A separate charge is maintained is maintained for Sawdust and Light wastes (not including loads of polystyrene) at York Valley landfill. This rate has been expanded to include asbestos loads that require management by NTRLBU in their disposal. This will predominantly relate to plastic wrapped asbestos loads being tipped from trucks. Light wastes are wastes that - in the opinion of the NTRLBU and its operators - are significantly less dense than general waste. For example, wastes that contain more than 25% polystyrene by volume. Asbestos disposed in Haz bags which is lifted off and placed in the landfill by the company disposing of the waste will remain at general waste disposal rates. The intended outcome of this higher fee for Asbestos is to cover the additional costs incurred by NTRLBU associated with digging asbestos disposal pits, monitoring disposal, and for managing the safe compaction of asbestos material. This budget is based on the Ministry for the Environment, Waste Disposal Levy increase to $$70 per ton for the 2026/27 year. The budget is based on an annual demand of 70,000 tonnes. The waste mass has been based on the 2024/2025 annual mass of waste received at York Valley excluding the Tahunanui Beach Contaminated sawdust, with the assumption that some improvement in economic activity will occur, but not back to 2023/2024 levels. The landfill charges are based on an assumed Local Disposal Levy (LDL) of $3.9M to both NCC and TDC for the 2026/27 year. This budget is based on an Emissions Trading Scheme UEF of 0.20 for 2026/27 years. The result of the above is an increase in the Waste Disposal Cost of $45 per tonne. This equates to an increase in the landfill cost of 17% in landfill charges from 2025/26 to 2026/27. This increase is higher than indicated in the NTRLBU 2024 – 2033 AMP because the NZ government has increased the Waste Disposal Levy by an additional $5 which was not included in the AMP budgets, and the Councils Local Disposal Levy has also increased from $6 million in 2025/2026 business plan to $7.8 Million in 2026/2027. The costs associated with the Operations and Maintenance of the landfill have increased by approximately 2.5%. The only change to the operating costs within the control of NTRLBU associated with this Business Plan when compared to the AMP is the additional of one additional staff member to the NTRLBU team. The role is considered necessary to ensure that NTRLBU has sufficient resource to support the development and administration of the gas system, and the administration of the gas sales and asset management associated with the system. NTRLBU is conscious that the compliance requirements associated with operating an increasingly complex gas system with commercial sales of gas will likely exceed the available capacity of the current NTRLBU staff. This increase in Landfill fee is due to: • Increases in the Waste Minimisation Levy. ($5/tonne) • Local disposal levy increases by $1.8 million ($28/tonne) • Reduced tonnes expected due to reduced economic activity. • Increased financing and depreciation costs associated with capital upgrades. • An additional staff member dedicated to gas management within the NTRLBU • Inflation allowance for 2.5% increase on the 2025/2026 costs. The separate fee for HAIL, hazardous material and contaminated soil requiring disposal to York Valley Landfill has been removed and this material is included in the general waste fee. |
