Frequently Asked Questions
The estimator uses your selected municipality's average waste bag prices per liter for burnable and non-burnable waste, multiplied by your estimated monthly waste volumes for each category. These prices are approximations for common municipal waste bags.
These are estimates based on general averages for the selected municipalities. Actual costs can vary significantly depending on the specific ward/district, actual bag sizes used, special waste items (e.g., large items requiring separate tickets), and changes in local regulations. Always check with your local municipal office for precise details.
Reducing your waste volume is the most effective way! This includes composting, recycling more diligently, buying products with less packaging, and reusing items. Many municipalities also offer free collection for certain recyclable materials, which can further reduce your reliance on paid waste bags.
