VIWMA TO INCREASE COMMERCIAL SOLID WASTE TIPPING FEE STARTING JANUARY 1, 2026

(Virgin Islands) – The Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority (VIWMA) would like to inform the community that an additional $1.25 will be added to the commercial solid waste tipping fee, increasing the overall fee from $6.25 to $7.50 per cubic yard, effective January 1, 2026.

The Virgin Islands Public Services Commission-mandated fee is essential for improving the Virgin Islands' environment and goes beyond mere waste processing; the financial support enables the VIWMA to maintain high standards of waste management, ensuring that solid waste is processed in an environmentally responsible manner.

The funds generated from the tipping fees help support vital operations at the three VIWMA disposal facilities: the Anguilla Landfill on St. Croix, the Bovoni Landfill on St. Thomas, and the Susannaberg Transfer Station on St. John, where the fees are assessed. The fees will help cover the cost of waste disposal (e.g., operations, equipment purchases, environmental monitoring, and more).

This is a step toward a cleaner, healthier Virgin Islands and will improve the quality of life for residents and visitors alike.

For more information, please contact Mrs. Anniesha Barnes at 340-712-4962 or 340-626-5159.
