With a view to protecting the environment and minimizing the financial burden for citizens, the Government is definitively proceeding with the implementation of the Municipal Waste Landfill Tax, due to the high percentage of waste that is led to final disposal and the need to comply with European targets.
Specifically, by 2035, the percentage of municipal waste that ends up in landfills must be limited to 10% of the total quantities produced.
The decision was taken today by the Council of Ministers, which adopted a relevant proposal by the Minister of Agriculture.
