Household Waste Management Fee
Each household in Brockton is charged an annual Waste Management Fee. This fee is applied to the Final Property Tax Bill and was started in 2012 for all residential properties. The funds collected through this fee are set aside in a reserve fund to deal with costs related to future landfill closure and capital expenditures. These fees do not offset waste collection or disposal costs in the current operating budget.
To assist with this process, waste diversion will extend the lifespan of the landfills and is the best opportunity for residents to actively participate in keeping our landfills.
If you own a multi-residential building and your third party waste hauler or collector does not dispose of waste in Municipality of Brockton landfills, you can apply for an exemption to the Waste Management Fee.
To apply for an exemption, please complete the following form and submit it to the Municipal Office: Waste Management Fee Exemption Form.
