BEP Environnement has released a series of videos to clarify the reasons for the waste tax increase planned for 2027 and 2028. Several factors explain this evolution, including the rise in the overall cost of living, a decrease in certain subsidies, lower revenue from the resale of materials, and new health and safety requirements for workers and citizens.
Despite economy measures already implemented in the past, a financing adjustment is deemed necessary to maintain the quality of the waste collection, sorting, and treatment service. The aim is to ensure optimal service for workers and citizens.
The announced average increase is €10 per inhabitant per year across the entire Namur region. It is specified that this amount is an average and the actual cost for each household will depend on the specific billing methods of each municipality, such as the mode and frequency of collections, household composition, and the 'true cost' principle.
For better understanding, BEP Environnement offers explanatory videos available on YouTube. These videos detail the factors influencing waste management costs and justify the financing adjustment.
