Municipality of Zwolle: paying the waste collection charge

From 2023, the waste charges consist of 2 parts: a fixed amount + a rate on residual waste. On this page you will find the rates for 2023. We set new rates every year.

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

The waste charge consists of two parts: a fixed amount + a rate for residual waste. New rates are set each year.

  1. Fixed amount

The fixed amount covers all waste costs except for residual waste. This includes the costs for collecting PMD, GFT, paper, and glass, as well as for the recycling center. You have no influence over this amount. The fixed amount depends on whether you live alone or with others.

2. Rate for residual waste

The rate for residual waste is paid each time you throw away residual waste or have the residual waste container emptied. The amount you pay per time depends on the container you use. You can influence these costs by sorting waste properly, as this reduces the amount of residual waste.

You can find the fixed amount and rates on the GBLT website.

Relief

Do you have a low income? Then you may not have to pay the waste levy in full. We call this gedeeltelijke kwijtschelding.
