What is the total monthly cost for HDB waste collection including GST?

Question

Accepted Answer

The total monthly cost for HDB waste collection, including GST, will be S$10.64 from July 1.

Households in Singapore will experience an increase in their monthly public waste collection fees starting July 1. The revised fee for Housing Development Board (HDB) flats and non-landed private residences will be S$10.64, reflecting an increase from the previous S$10.20. This updated charge incorporates the prevailing nine per cent Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Revised Monthly Fee for HDB Flats

From July 1, the monthly fee for HDB flats will be S$10.64. This represents an increase of S$0.44 from the current charge of S$10.20. This adjustment is part of a regular review by the National Environment Agency (NEA) to ensure the sustainability of Singapore's waste management system.
Rationale for the Fee Increase

The adjustment in refuse collection charges is attributed to rising operational and manpower costs faced by public waste collectors. The NEA stated that the revised fees are necessary to accommodate these increasing expenses and maintain the efficiency of waste management services. This is the first revision to public waste collection fees since 2024.
Impact on Landed Properties

Residents of landed properties will also see a change in their monthly waste collection fees. Their charges will increase by S$1.50, moving from S$34 to S$35.50 per month. Similar to HDB flat dwellers, this revised amount includes the nine per cent GST.
Offset Through U-Save Rebates

For eligible HDB households, the increased refuse collection fees can be partially offset by quarterly U-Save rebates. These rebates are credited directly into households' utility accounts under the GST Voucher scheme, helping to mitigate the impact of the fee adjustment.
