What affects the price
- municipality (gmina)/city: each municipality sets its own rate (significant differences across the country)
- waste sorting: failure to sort waste results in a significantly higher penalty rate (e.g. in Kraków, PLN 54 instead of PLN 27)
- type of development: single-family or multi-unit housing (rates may vary)
- number of people in the household (the fee is usually charged per person)
This fee is set locally by each municipality (gmina) under the Act on Maintaining Cleanliness and Order in Municipalities, so rates vary considerably depending on where you live.
Prices from customers and companies
Two types of entries: customers state how much they paid for the entire job and rate the contractor; service providers enter their price lists. Customer entries have three reliability levels: ✓ verified: invoice or receipt (the editorial team has seen a document matching the entry), ✓ verified: declaration (the author confirmed the entry using a link sent by e-mail) and unverified (how we verify entries); we do not verify company price lists. Price lists entered by companies are not included in the median at the top of the page; customer amounts are included only for services priced as a complete service.
