Hi Brian,

Not under the wording we proposed. Here is the explicit exclusion proposed:

(c) Tons not subject to these fees include:

...

(C) Construction and demolition wastes and industrial wastes that are processed by a material recovery facility or a conversion technology facility to make a fuel to be burned off-site for energy recovery - for example, in a hogged fuel boiler;

In general though, the fee would only be charged on refuse-derived fuel from mixed waste that contains domestic solid waste. It would not apply to source-separated materials.

Hi Peter,

Could the pellets (derived from sawdust or possibly waste wood) that are used in residential pellet stoves be subject to the RDF fees as you’ve proposed them?

Thanks
