Waste tax
All municipalities in the Netherlands have the task of collecting household waste. The cost of waste collection is paid by residents through the waste collection levy. Everyone in the Netherlands pays waste disposal charges for the collection and processing of household waste.
In Geldrop-Mierlo, this is regulated through the Diftar system (differentiated rate). This means that you pay each time you offer residual waste. In addition, there is a fixed rate. Through the Diftar system, the waste goals in Geldrop-Mierlo are achieved.

Other costs
In addition to waste collection fees, Cure Waste Management may charge for:
- Environmental street: At the environmental street in Geldrop different rates apply per category of waste. Please visit Milieustraat for more information and www.cure-afvalbeheer.nl for current rates.

Cleaning fee
For associations and businesses, the municipality has no collection obligation. Companies, stores and associations basically engage a commercial party themselves to process the industrial waste.
Companies and stores whose waste is similar to that of a single household can also have their commercial waste collected by Cure Afvalbeheer. These companies pay a cleaning fee. The same rates apply here as for the waste collection fee plus 21% VAT.
