What is a tipping fee



You need to tip the builder 20% of constructions costs in the US

(Just kidding, it's the fee for taking the waste to the tip)


Really the issue is the PoS terminal the builders use default to a 20% and all the options presented are higher. You feel like a real creep tapping other and typing in 0 in front of them.


Waste disposal. Construction and remodeling both produce huge amounts of waste and it needs to be disposed of in specific ways.


Huh. Have never heard that called a tipping fee. When we've had work done there's just a line item for dumpster/removal/etc


Yeah, I had to look the term up to make sure I was right. The terminology probably depends on where you live.
