GBLT sends a tax assessment for domestic waste collection to the occupant or user of a plot. You will always receive an assessment even if you do not dispose of any waste
As of 2023, the domestic waste collection charge in Zwolle consists of two parts:
- A flat fee per annum.
This amount is stated on the tax assessment which we send at the beginning of the year. The flat fee is for all waste except residual waste. For example, for plastic and green waste. And for the bottle banks. You have no influence on this amount.
- A fee for each time you present residual waste.
You pay for each time you dispose of waste. This is called a differentiated tariff, "diftar" for short. You can control these charges by separating your waste properly. That way, you will have less residual waste. We will send you a separate tax assessment for diftar after the year end. This means you will always pay this year's diftar in the next year.

Is remission possible?
Are you unable to pay this rate? Then you can request remission. Do you meet the rules and conditions for remission? Then you do not have to pay the entire amount:
- You do not have to pay the flat fee.
- You do not have to pay the fee on residual waste up to a maximum. If you live by yourself then this maximum is €23.80. If you live with two or more persons, the maximum is €71.40. Above these amounts, you pay the normal amount each time you dispose of residual waste.

Do you not qualify for remission? It is also possible to pay in instalments.

Domestic waste collection charge on relocating
- Do you relocate within the same municipality?
The domestic waste collection charge transfers with it. Next year, you will receive a new tax assessment for the new premises. - Do you relocate to another municipality?
You will have to pay up to the moving date. We will send you a letter about this. Did you pay for the entire year in advance? Then we will refund part of this amount. - Do you relocate from another municipality to Zwolle?
You have to pay from the moment you reside in Zwolle. You will receive a tax assessment for this.
