Singapore to revise household refuse collection fees from 1 July 2026

Those living in HDB and non-landed private homes will pay S$10.64 a month for refuse collection, while landed property fees will rise to S$35.50, following a nationwide fee revision.

Households in Singapore will see an increase in refuse collection fees from 1 July 2026, following a revision under the public waste collection scheme.

According to the announcement by National Environment Agency (NEA), the fee adjustment is part of a regular review to ensure Singapore’s waste management system remains sustainable amid rising operational and manpower costs faced by Public Waste Collectors (PWCs). The last revision was made in 2024.

For HDB flats and non-landed private housing, the monthly refuse collection fee will increase by S$0.44, from S$10.20 to S$10.64, inclusive of 9% GST.

Meanwhile, households living in landed properties will see a larger increase of S$1.50, with monthly fees rising from S$34.00 to S$35.50, inclusive of GST.

The revised fees are intended to support the continued operation of Singapore’s overall waste management system, which includes the collection and disposal of household refuse across the island.

To help households manage the increase, the Government noted that refuse collection fees for HDB flats can be offset through U-Save rebates under the permanent GST Voucher scheme.

The rebates for FY2026 will be disbursed in April, July and October 2026, as well as January 2027. Eligible households will receive the rebates directly through their SP Services utilities accounts, helping to offset utilities-related expenses, including refuse collection charges.
