Globs are increasing: What this means for Weilheim-Schongau!

Weilheim-Schongau, Deutschland - In an important session, the district committee Weilheim-Schongau has examined the garbage fees for the coming years. After three decades with continuously falling fees, an increase is now needed. This is a remarkable turning point, since the fees are to remain at the level of 2008. The reasons for this decision are diverse and above all in general inflation, the introduction of a CO2 tax and increasing wage and logistics costs.

A central point of the discussion was the future basic fee for private households and businesses, which was set to 5 euros. For a four-person household with a 120-liter organic and residual waste bin, this means a monthly load of EUR 22.20, compared to the previous 16.40 euros. This adaptation illustrates the need to consider the current economic framework.

comparison with other counties

In a regional comparison, it turns out that the new fees in the Weilheim-Schongau district are quite competitive. Compared to other counties, Weilheim-Schongau is located in the lower midfield. This result is gratifying, especially in times when many municipalities also have to fight with increases in fees due to rising costs.

The final decision on the new garbage fees will not be made until October 25, 2024 by the district council. The situation could change somewhat by this date, since the administration states that the fees could possibly be reduced again. This uncertainty could offer a certain relief for the citizens, since an increase may not be as strong as it was originally planned.

This decision and the associated discussions are important because they show how the financial burdens can develop for citizens. The district office has emphasized that the measures are necessary in order to continue to make waste disposal in the future.
