All homeowners pay the garbage collection fee, which continues to rise. Explanations.
The amount of garbage collection tax continues to rise. In some cities, it increased by 40%. And the situation is unlikely to improve, as this increase offsets another tax on waste storage. “+ 41.86% to be precise, it’s huge”, is surprised by Thierry Fortunée, resident of Tremblay-en-France (Seine-Saint-Denis).
For the deputy mayor of Tremblay-en-France, this increase is due to the tax on waste landfill and its incineration, which is increasingly expensive. “The State decided to increase the general tax on polluting activities which took an extreme leap”, reports Virginie De Carvalho, also vice president of land of flight. “The management of new generation waste requires new screening procedures, but also new selective collections. The more we sort, the more we will pay dearly”., adds Nicolas Garnier, delegate general of Amorce (National Association of Local Authorities and Waste Companies).
