What is a contamination fee?

Financial penalties for contaminated loads may include a caveat that either the hauler or local government will pay a penalty fee for an overly contaminated load as well as any disposal fees if it must be sent to a landfill. The fee is due to the rejection of the load due to contamination at the composting/recycling facility which is why our programs heavily focus on reducing contamination at the source by educating waste generators and creating programs that make things simple!
