Municipality of Amstelveen: paying the waste collection charge
You must pay a waste collection charge (afvalstoffenheffing) to the Amstelland municipal taxes for the collection and disposal of your household waste. You only pay waste collection charges if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with the municipality.
The amount of the waste collection charge depends on the following:
- The size of your waste container.
- The number of times you present your waste.
- The number of people registered at your address (single-person or multi-person household).
Rates and calculation methods differ per municipality. View the rates per municipality here.
Fixed annual rate
If you choose to pay a fixed amount based on your household, then you pay for a whole year. If the number in your household increases or reduces during that year, it will not affect the amount of your waste collection charge.
Exemption
If you are unable to pay the waste collection charge, you may be eligible for an exemption. For more information, visit the Amstelland Municipal Tax website.
