As part of draft budget discussions, the Hepburn Shire Council has floated the idea of revising Domestic and Commercial Waste Tipping Fees.

At the moment, it costs $12 to dispose of a car tyre at one of the municipal's transfer stations.

But the fee structure shake-up would see that price drop to just $4.

Truck drivers, however, would be disadvantaged by the possible changes with the cost of dumping truck tyres set to almost double.

Council's 2009/10 fee structure outlined it currently costed $25 to scrap a truck tyre, $130 for a small tractor tyre and $200 for a large tractor tyre.

Next financial year, the cost of tractor tyres would remain the same but to the cost to dispose of a small truck tyre would jump to $30 and a large truck tyre could set you back $60. The Schedule of Fees and Charges 2010/2011 will be publicly advertised as part of the Draft Budget 2010/2011

and the community is invited to provide submissions.
