Best Answer

A fuel surcharge is just a way of recovering the loss of profit due to increased gasoline or diesel cost for transport that was not figured in to the purchase price of the product without raising the price of the product itself.

As far as I know there is no standard, it is based on the difference between what was projected as cost for the year weighed against what it actually cost.

It would depend on the terms of the agreement between the trash hauling company and the customer. If the agreement allows for fuel surcharges or includes language that allows for additional charges, then it may be legal. However, if the customer did not agree to such charges or they are not stipulated in the agreement, the company may not be legally entitled to impose them.
