Procedure details

In Bavaria, waste disposal is the responsibility of the districts and independent municipalities. For waste from private households, among other things, there is a basic obligation to use municipal facilities. In order to carry out their task effectively, the facility operators can join together to form special-purpose associations or commission a private third party, including a limited liability company (GmbH) supported by the responsible authority, to actually carry out the waste disposal.

The public authorities regularly refinance themselves through waste disposal fees. In addition to ongoing operating costs, these also include annual depreciation on investment costs and provisions for future refurbishment costs.

When calculating the fees, the public authorities have a certain amount of leeway as to the extent to which they charge uniform fee rates or separate fee rates for different services (e.g. organic waste garbage cans, bulky waste disposal). The relevant user and fee statutes of the respective facility provider are decisive.

You can obtain more information about the waste fees in your municipality from your district administration office or your independent city.

Waste is disposed of.

The fees are charged by means of a fee notice.

The amount of the waste disposal fees is determined by statute.

The fees are levied by means of a fee notice, against which an appeal and/or action for annulment is permitted. Once the notices have become final, corrections are regularly at the discretion of the responsible bodies.
