SINGAPORE \u2013 Households will need to pay more for public waste collection from July 1.<\/p>\n
The monthly fee for HDB flats and non-landed private housing will increase by 44 cents from $10.20 to $10.64, said the National Environment Agency (NEA) in a statement on June 12.<\/p>\n
Non-landed private housing refers to apartments and condominiums, including walk-up apartments and duplexes.<\/p>\n
The monthly fee for those living in landed homes, meanwhile, will go up by $1.50 from $34 to $35.50.<\/p>\n
Both fees are inclusive of 9 per cent goods and services tax (GST).<\/p>\n
The revised fees ensure that Singapore\u2019s overall waste management system is able to operate sustainably, said NEA.<\/p>\n
It added that this is part of the \u201cregular review of refuse collection fees to reflect rising operational and manpower costs faced by public waste collectors\u201d.<\/p>\n
The household refuse collection fee for Housing Board flats can be offset by U-Save rebates,<\/span><\/a> which are given quarterly. The rebates for the 2026 financial year will be credited in April, July and October, and later in January 2027.<\/p>\n The rebates, which are credited directly into eligible households\u2019 utilities accounts with grid operator SP Services, are part of a permanent GST Voucher scheme that helps lower- and middle-income households cope with the rising cost of living and increased GST.<\/p>\n The last public waste collection fee revision was made in 2024<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n SINGAPORE \u2013 Households will need to pay more for public waste collection from July 1.
