SINGAPORE: Households living in Housing Board (HDB) flats and non-landed private homes will pay more for refuse collection from Jul 1, with monthly fees set to rise by 44 cents from S$10.20 (US$7.94) to S$10.64, said the National Environment Agency (NEA) on Friday (Jun 12).<\/span><\/p>\n

For landed homes, the monthly refuse collection fee will increase by S$1.50, from S$34 to S$35.50.<\/span><\/p>\n

NEA said that the revised fees, which are inclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST), ensure Singapore’s overall waste management system can continue operating sustainably.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is part of a regular review of refuse collection charges and reflects rising operational and manpower costs faced by public waste collectors, NEA added.<\/span><\/p>\n

The latest increase comes two years after the previous revision in July 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

For HDB households, the refuse collection fee can be offset by U-Save rebates provided under the permanent GST Voucher scheme. Eligible households receive the rebates directly in their SP Services utility accounts to help defray utility expenses, including refuse collection charges.<\/span><\/p>\n

U-Save rebates<\/span> for the 2026 financial year will be disbursed in July and October, as well as in January 2027. The April tranche has already been paid out.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
