The current PGGD does not include a financial aspect, or any cost-benefit analysis of the measures proposed and the targets set. The Ministry of the Environment reimburses up to 25% of the capital cost of inter-communal facilities for household and similar waste disposal, up to 40% of the capital costs of communal and inter-communal PDRs, up to 60% of the capital costs of composting or bio-methane projects for organic waste and sewage sludge, and up to 100% of the costs of handling problem household waste through the SDK programme. In 2008, 68% of spending by the Environmental Protection Fund (EUR 9 million) went to waste prevention and management. Fifteen communes17 (home to around a third of the country’s population) are applying a harmonised and differentiated tax that respects the PPP: it involves weighing and identifying dustbins at collection time and is combined with an effective system of separate collection for recyclable items. The system includes a flat-rate tax, a charge for the collection of residual waste,18 and differentiated charges for separate collection (geared to weight and the type of material). Most of the communes are still calculating their charges without any regard to the real costs, often taking as their basis the size of the dustbin.
