The penalties are meant to serve as a deterrent to haulers dumping items for which there are recycling programs; ultimately, it is considered haulers responsibility to deal with their customers to keep banned items out of the waste stream.

The total number of surcharge notices issued has decreased from 4,835 in 2015 to 3,430 in 2016. A total of 180,530 loads were inspected in 2016 compared with 176,895 in van cleef four leaf clover necklace fake 2015, with surcharge rates of 1.9 per cent and 2.7 per cent, respectively.

The same $50 surcharge also applies to solvents, pesticides, gasoline, paint, lead acid batteries, electronics, tires, etc.
