At its meeting today, the City Council approved the amended Waste Management By-laws and the amendment to the Waste Charges By-laws of the City of Chemnitz, with effect from 1 January 2027.
The regulations will apply for the years 2027 and 2028.
Waste charges consist of three components: the basic household charge, the standard collection charge and the volume-based charge.
From 1 January 2027, the basic fee will be 1.20 euros more per year and per household than previously, rising to 40.80 euros. The standard collection fee will also increase slightly. The charge per cubic metre per week will in future be 20.27 euros for residual waste from private households (previously: 19.73 euros) and 9.69 euros for organic waste (previously: 9.50 euros). The weight-based charge for residual waste remains stable at 238 euros per tonne, whilst for organic waste it rises by 2 euros to 70 euros per tonne.
The fee is determined by the number of waste bins provided per property, the type of waste bin (approved bin sizes) and the emptying frequency agreed in each case. This also includes one free bulky waste collection per year.
The charges for the full service have also been recalculated. The cost per transport metre will rise by 0.01 euros, opening and closing a door will cost 0.02 euros more, and opening and closing a gate will cost 0.04 euros more. The fee for the collection of bulky waste from the home will rise by 1.80 euros to 10.80 euros.
A new provision has been added to the fee regulations covering a wasted journey, despite an agreed appointment for a bin swap or a collection point inspection. A charge of 14.86 euros will then apply.
