In Tallinn, the waste fee will not increase much. The Climate Ministry says the fee will increase by less than 75%. The reform will help reduce the amount of waste.
Waste processing is becoming more expensive. The incineration fee is 60 euros per ton. In Tallinn, waste is transported to the Iru plant.
The waste fee will not increase by 75%. Separate waste collection reduces costs. Mixed waste decreases. Most of the waste consists of packaging.
Container emptying will become 30–95 cents more expensive. Tallinn is making new contracts. People will pay a maximum of 50 cents per container.
Currently, packaging waste can be transported in nine municipalities. It can be ordered in more than 60 municipalities. In other municipalities, new contracts must be made.
The amount of waste will not decrease immediately. Residents will have to pay more. The reform is to blame.
A lot of waste is generated in Estonia. Waste is either incinerated or landfilled. The reform makes waste collection easier. Apartment buildings have four containers: mixed waste, biowaste, paper, and packaging. Glass collection depends on the municipality. The reform will reduce the amount of landfilled waste to almost zero.
