Overview
- Madrid will factor registered residents per dwelling into the 2026 waste charge, nudging the average bill from €141 to €142.6 and replacing a single neighborhood tariff with 10 brackets by household size.
- A Fundació ENT analysis reports a 16% average rise in 2025 to €116.32 per household, with proceeds ring-fenced for collection, transport and treatment and wide differences by local formula.
- In Santurtzi, the PNV proposes a 306% increase to lift annual revenue from €1.7 million to €5.2 million, pairing a fixed component tied to cadastral value with a variable part based on household income or business activity.
- Vélez-Málaga’s PP–GIPMTM government rejected hundreds of objections and plans final approval next week of a fee expected to raise €7.2 million annually, as the PSOE takes the ordinance to court.
- Local adjustments vary: O Morrazo’s councils field mass appeals and outline composting and brown-bin discounts, while Colindres approves a modest €4–€6 quarterly rise with targeted reductions and a generation-linked component.
