Starting July 1, waste will cost more.
Prices will increase by 30-50%. This is due to new taxes.
Local governments confirmed the new prices. Waste now costs 2-3 times more.
Waste carriers pay more to the state. They requested a price increase.
Bruno Tammaru says the price hike applies to mixed waste. These are trash bins where waste is mixed. In Estonia, waste is not sorted sufficiently.
Most local governments adopted the new prices. People now have to pay more.
For example, an apartment building will pay 66 euros for waste. Previously, it was 56 euros. If waste is collected 4 times a month, an additional 20-40 euros will be added.
Bulky waste also costs more. For example, sofas or construction waste. Previously, a ton of waste cost 60-70 euros, now it's 120-140 euros.
