Utrecht is introducing a ‘fair’ waste levy: cheaper for singles, more expensive for families

Utrecht is introducing a fair waste levy cheaper for singles

As of January 1, 2024, four different waste collection rates will apply instead of the current two. Households with one or two people will pay less waste tax, larger households more. Anyone with whom you live in a house and who is registered with the municipality at the same address, including children, counts as a co-occupant. “Fairer waste tax, so we better match how much waste people produce”, alderman Susanne Schilderman (D66) said on Twitter.
