February 18, 2025
The government plans to implement a landfill tax for municipal waste, aiming to reduce landfill waste to 10% by 2035. The tax will start at €35 per ton and increase by €5 annually, reaching €70. Revenue from this tax will be used for local waste management initiatives and to promote recycling. If implemented, it could significantly decrease the amount of waste sent to landfills.
