SALISBURY Md. – Wicomico County landfill users will see higher disposal costs beginning January 1, 2026, as the county adjusts rates under its approved Fiscal Year 2026 budget, according to information released by county officials. The change follows Resolution No. 72-2025, adopted June 2 by the County Council, which authorized increases to solid waste charges at the county’s Newland Park Landfill. County officials say the adjustments apply to commercial haulers, businesses, and residents who dispose of material directly at the facility.
Under the new schedule, tipping fees will rise to $88 per ton with a minimum fee of $10 per load. The county’s commercial brush fee will also increase to $44 per ton, with the same $10 minimum charge.
The Solid Waste Division reports that the revisions are tied to operational needs included in the Fiscal Year 2026 budget plan. The landfill provides disposal services for municipalities, private contractors, and residents from across Wicomico County.
