Municipality of Zaanstad: paying the waste collection charge
You pay the waste disposal charges, because the municipality is obliged to collect household waste for the plot (home, mobile home, houseboat, caravan) that you are using.
Please note. You only pay afvalstoffenheffing (waste disposal charges) if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.
No difference is made in the rates for a single or multi-person household. The rate is the same for every household. The costs in 2023 are € 347,83 .
This amount will be charged on the municipal tax assessment that you receive each year.
Apply for an exemption
You can ask the municipality whether you do not have to pay a part of the waste disposal charges. This is called kwijtschelding (apply for an exemption). Whether you are entitled to depends on your personal situation.
