Abstract
Recently observable increases and spans of fees in the waste sector are due to margins in the performance and fee regulations of the waste law and local tax law and their specific interpretations by the local waste facilities. Therefore, waste fees as an allocation oriented policy instrument are not feasable. Moreover, competitive distortions on the debtor’s side owing the fee and destructive competition on the side of the waste facilities will be induced. Hence, and also to maintain reciprocity of public pricing rules, it seems to be necessary to limit those margins by definitive standards. In this respect for fee calculation taking into account eco-political objectives a “Standard — Cost Accounting System” for residential waste management is recommended, which on national level should be codified in a “Allgemeine abfallwirtschaftliche Preisordnung”.
