Municipality of Woerden: paying the waste collection charge

Please note. You only pay afvalstoffenheffing (waste disposal charges) if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.

Fixed costs

Please visit our website for an overview of current costs

Companies outside the city ring have to arrange their own waste collection. See: waste collection charge

Discount rates

If you put your gray container by the side of the road less often, you will receive a discount on your waste levy. If you open an underground container less often you will receive a discount as well. Please visit our website for an overview of the discounts.

Declaration form

Every year you will receive a tax declaration for your municipal taxes by post or e-mail. This states how much waste levy you have to pay and by what date.

Terms

Waste tax is part of your annual municipal taxes. You can pay your municipal taxes in 1 instalment or in 10 installments by direct debit.

Remission

Do you have little or no income? Then you can ask whether the municipality is okay with you not paying (part of) your waste levy. This is called a waiver. You can apply for a waiver online.

If you disagree with the way of taxation of your waste collection charges, you can object to this online or in writing.
