I'm not going to opine if it was used properly, but it is a very common word. Google is your friend. It's usually particularly helpful, when publicly correcting someone who might not be as wrong as you think. |

"Tippage" is a fee that is paid to dispose of waste (& sometimes other products). "Tippage" is also a noun, to describe ... something that "tips". "Tippage" is also a noun used to describe provided advice regarding a "stock" or something similar. Some tippage rates going up at Sylvan Lake Waste Transfer Site | rdnewsnow.com Landfill Westlock County - Landfill The Resourceful Woodworker cures ‘Tippage’ - Woodworking Wisdom | Axminster Tools TIPPING | definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary Apparently Webster's online isn't quite as accurate as they used to pride themselves on. |

& you're right, most online dictionaries don't seem to have the word, but it's been in common usage for at least 40 years that I know of. Ask any truck driver who's ever been to a "dump", landfill or disposal site, almost without exception they'll tell you they pay "Tippage Fees". (I'll agree that other uses of the word are more obscure.) |
