Waste charges are rising in Halle: What citizens need to know now!
In Halle (Saale), residents will face higher waste charges next year. The Committee for Climate Protection, Environment and Order unanimously approved the new waste management regulations and the associated fee regulations. The final decision now lies with the city council.
The fee adjustments are significant. The basic fee for waste disposal per person per year will be increased to 40.80 euros per year, which corresponds to an increase of around 9% compared to the previous 37.32 euros. For a 120 liter bin that is emptied every two weeks, citizens will now have to pay 102.80 euros, instead of the 89.76 euros that were previously due. The costs for collecting bulky waste are also increasing: the price is now 20 euros, whereas it was previously 18 euros.
Background of the fee increase
The decision to increase waste fees is part of a broader strategy to cover the costs of waste disposal and ensure the economic viability of waste management in Halle (Saale). In recent years, the cost of waste disposal has increased for a variety of reasons, including rising disposal costs and inflation.
For citizens, this adjustment means that they will have to expect increased fees for waste disposal from January 1, 2025. These financial changes in waste management could place particular strain on low-income households as they face higher per capita costs to maintain waste disposal.
