What is a environmental fee?

The environmental fee is an annual fee paid by California businesses and organizations that use, generate, store, or carry out activities related to hazardous products. The environmental tax is a charge that many states impose on waste management companies for the disposal of waste in facilities such as landfills, incinerators, composting facilities and recycling centers. This rate is generally calculated per ton and is designed to cover environmental costs associated with waste disposal, such as pollution control, facility maintenance, and care during closure and after the Closure.
