From 292 euros in Valencia to 42 in Soria: how much does the rubbish tax cost in each capital?
Los municipios recaudan casi 4.000 millones con el gravamen, pero solo cubren un 70% del coste de la recogida y gestión de los residuos, según datos de la Fundación ENT
The new waste tax rate has increased again in 2026, with an average household cost of 119.6 euros, a 6.4% rise from the previous year. This increase is higher than the inflation rate for the period. Despite the rise, the service remains deficitary. There is significant variation in rates between cities, with Valencia having the highest rate at 292.48 euros and Soria the lowest at 42.31 euros, according to a report by Fundación ENT.
