What affects the price
- charging method in a given municipality: per person, by floor area or a flat rate per household
- city and municipality (gmina): rates are set by the municipal council and vary significantly
- whether the waste is sorted (a higher rate is charged as a penalty for unsorted waste)
Usually included in the price
- collection and management of municipal waste from the property
Usually charged separately
- removal of bulky waste or construction rubble (usually subject to separate rules)
This fee is set by the municipality (gmina), so the rate and how it is calculated (per person, by floor area or per household) depend on the city.
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.
