Waste collection tax assessment

Belastingsamenwerking gemeenten en hoogheemraadschap Utrecht (BghU) will send you a tax assessment stating how much you have to pay for waste disposal. It will also state how and by what date you must pay. You will usually receive this tax assessment before the last weekend of February.

You will receive the tax assessment by post or via MijnOverheid, depending on which option you have chosen.

Pay on time

Make sure that you pay on time. Otherwise you will have to pay a fine.

Relief

You can ask BghU whether you are entitled to an exemption for paying part of the charge. That exemption is referred to as kwijtschelding. Whether you are entitled to an exemption depends on your personal situation. 

You can apply for an exemption online via My BghU. To do so, you must log in with DigiD (individuals and sole proprietors) or eHerkenning (companies). Can't apply online? You can also contact BghU and ask them to send you a remission form by post.
