The Drysdale tip will now charge you $32.50 a trailer load up from $21 - an increase of almost 55%.

Car boot load will increase by $3  and now cost $12.50

The City of Greater Geelong say this is because of the Victorian' Government's Environment Protection Authority landfill levy which has increased by $21 per tonne.

Drysdale tip fees likely to increase

An article in today's Independent entitled "Fee'Hike' to leave tip users down in the dumps" claims that:

"The cost of dumping rubbish at City of Greater Geelong tips is set to rise up to 50 per cent in July under a new environment landfill levy, councillors have warned..."

The landfill levy is set by the Victorian Government and the Geelong Council has warned they will probably have to raise rates as a result.
