Fee Update  |  WA  |  September 28, 2026

CAA published its 2027 Washington Early Fees Schedule on October 1, 2026, with eight per-pound rates by material category, from $0.002 for glass and ceramics to $0.030 for wood and other organic materials. Washington’s Recycling Reform Act requires the PRO to set an initial fee structure, used until its program plan is approved, and to collect fees annually from registered producers (RCW 70A.208.040(3)(b)).

What this means for you: the rates apply to program year 2027, but CAA has not said when it will invoice them or which year of supply data it will use, so watch for CAA’s invoice notice. CAA holds a fee-setting webinar on October 21, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. ET; register for the webinar. All eight rates are on the Washington page. Sources: CAA, 2027 Washington Early Fees Schedule (October 1, 2026); CAA, Washington 2027 Early Fees (read October 6, 2026).
