Like many rural locals in Kentish, he's angry.

He wants the council to change its new system, which slugs owners of country property and bush blocks even if they produce no tip rubbish,

"I talked with the Mayor last night and I said they were money grubbing," Mr Braid said on Tuesday.

Mr Braid has three rural properties in Kentish, including a "semi-bush block" and a "30-acre paddock" and hardly uses the local tip.

"I go to the tip twice or three times a year with one little dog tucker bag with a few bits and pieces."

That would have cost him $12 or less in the past, he said.

The new $50 charge for each property costs him $150 in total.

The council dropped "user pays" tip fees in a bid to encourage people not to dump rubbish in the country, which has been a problem for years.

Mr Braid said he believed the Mayor, Don Thwaites, had "had his ears burnt" by the outcry.

"He seemed to think they'd made a mistake and would change it."

Cr Thwaites confirmed thoughts of changing the waste management charge.

"I don't think we'd do it the same way next year," Cr Thwaites said.

"We'd probably put it onto residential blocks only, but it might be a bigger amount.

"It was one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time.

"We got some advice about how much the tip was costing us and we worked out if we were to just put a small fee on each block it would cover the cost of running the transfer station," he said.

"If we had just put up rates by the same amount and said waste management would come out of general revenue, we wouldn't have had this backlash."

He said the rubbish dumping issue was serious and he had even found dumped rubbish from Ulverstone in rural Kentish.
