Fees for waste collection rise in Poland - UOKiK

Prices for waste collection are going up due to lack of competition, and higher rates for processing and storage of waste,  Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) said in a report. The highest fees are in Mazovia, and the lowest - in Bialystok. "The growth of fees paid by residents for garbage collection began in 2017, and then they were rising every year. In 2018-2019, over 60 percent of municipalities increased or plan to increase prices," - said UOKiK President Marek Niechłam.
