Every household pays waste collection tax. This tax covers the collection and processing of household waste, such as residual waste, paper, organic waste, and plastic. The amount you pay depends on the number of people in your household.
The municipality uses waste collection tax revenue to ensure that waste is collected on time, separated correctly, and processed safely. This includes deploying garbage trucks, placing and emptying containers, and improving waste separation.
The GAD collects household waste in Hilversum. The costs incurred for this may not exceed what is necessary. Therefore, the municipality may only charge the amount of waste collection tax necessary to perform these tasks.
What do you need to know
- You pay waste levy from the moment you use a home
- How much waste levy you pay depends on the number of people in your household
- If the number of people in a household changes, this will not affect the costs of the current year. The costs will be adjusted in the following year
- Residents of a non-independent living space (no private shower, toilet and kitchen) or a care institution will not receive an assessment for the waste levy. The landlord pays the tax
Moving away
- Moving from Hilversum: From the end of the month in which you move, you will no longer pay waste levy. Example: You move on May 23. You pay until the end of May. If you have paid in advance, you will automatically receive a refund within 3 months
- Moving within Hilversum: You will not receive an assessment for waste disposal until the following year for the new address
