Reduction in the Basic Fee

(for private households)

If it can be proven that all organic waste from private households generated on the property is composted on-site year-round, a reduction in the base fee is available upon request. The requirements for this are that the organic waste is properly and safely processed at the point of generation or in the immediate vicinity, and that suitable areas for spreading the compost and composting facilities are available. You can obtain the application form here.

The reduction in the base fee, upon confirmation of on-site composting, takes effect on the next applicable date and is valid for a limited period of 5 years.
(Note: There will then be a fee for dropping off yard waste at the recycling center.)

 

Volume-Based Fee for Residual Waste
