Who plays landfill tax?

Answer 1

Landfills are often funded through a combination of methods. They are usually supported first by use taxes. Use taxes are simply paying for direct use of the service. People and businesses who take refuse to the landfill will pay for the benefit of dumping in the landfill. in addition, homeowners are often times charged a landfill or trash collection fee for the services of picking up trash and the trash being taken to the landfill. These use taxes often times will not fully fund the cost of building and operating the landfill so the local government that operates the landfill will make up any difference from taxes in their general fund.
