2011 Gate Fees Report
WRAP's annual Gate Fees Report presents a summary of gate fees charged for a range of alternative waste treatment, recovery and disposal options. The report summarises indicative gate fee information and analyses the factors likely to influence future gate fees. The information in the report allows local authorites to make better informed decisions regarding waste management options.
The 2011 report highlights that gate fees at many MRF and AD facilities are now lower than at the time of the previous survey while landfill disposal charges (including the landfill tax) continue to increase.
Feedback from a range of local authorities and MRF operators interviewed for this research highlights that a growing number of local authorities are receiving net payment (or being charged zero gate fees) for their recovered materials.

Background
The Gate Fees report aims to raise price transparency and, through improving the flow of information, enhance the efficiency with which the waste management market operates. A lack of market information may reduce a local authority's ability to make informed decisions on waste management options in terms of both economic and environmental costs.
