Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025

Nice of you to admit that it is your fault. Your thoughts are obviously very powerful. Please stop thinking about things not going up and start thinking about reductions instead.

My IBI bill HAS actually been reduced by a very small amount in each of the last 3 years, and is now 9% lower than it was in 2017 when I bought this property, because the previous local administration voted to do so. My Ayuntamiento has never charged a separate amount for basura (well not in the 18 years I've lived here, anyway). I have read in the press, however, that from 2025 they will be forced to do so, because of the new regulations explained in Spainrico's link. I have not seen any information whatsoever issued by the Ayuntamiento, though, about what is going to happen next year.

I've found a local news item from yesterday but basically it's just the PSOE looking to score political points about it, still don't have any information about when the new separate tax will be levied or how much it is likely to be.

Please believe me Rosemary - I do try!

My issue is I live alone but have to pay the same amount as a family. Thoughts anyone?

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

I put my rubbish out by my gate and it's collected at around 8am daily at no charge.

Another advantage of living in a park home, no IBI or any of that malarkey either, tee he he :thumbsup:

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

But surely there is a community (?) fee which includes the charges for rubbish collection and all other overheads.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

In Catalonia there's already a rubbish tax (tasa por gestión de residuos), I think most if not all municipalities in Catalonia charge it.

But this is Catalonia and la pela es la pela.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

But the campsite must charge you in some form ? It isn't just empty land so of course they are paying then charging you
You might not pay IBI directly but it's just effectively part of your site chanrges

Unless you're living in an urbanización that organises its own rubbish collection and disposal (not even sure such a thing exists), this is a council service.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

No, I pay my ground rent and not a penny more. If there are any fees they are included in that.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

I neither know nor care about the composition of my ground rent however due to the fact that Park homes are not considered as 'property' and have neither cadastral entry nor cadastral value they therefore do not attract IBI as bricks and mortar do.
Furthermore they have no deeds and can be bought and sold without the involvement of the legal profession or any government agency. If I were selling somebody could come to my door, make me an acceptable offer, make a bank transfer on the spot, and that would be the end of it!

For many, like us in out latter years and with children to consider, that is an extremely valuable factor as on our deaths it completely removes them from any involvement whatsoever with Spanish bureaucracy when selling the home. In it's simplest form they could tell the site owner to sell the home on their behalf and just send them the proceeds, no waiting for Spain to grant probate etc. or engage a layer to act for them.

BTW, it's not a campsite, that implies plots for short term rent and transient visitors. My site is wholly residential with subletting prohibited so is more akin to a small private housing estate.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

So you pay a rent that goes to the owner who pays tax for the land. What are you getting for free?

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

We have a separate charge for the rubbish collection. I think it's about €180 a year and we get six collections a week in winter and seven in summer.
The contract is given to a company who had to bid based on a five year plan, we are in the second year so I won't see any increases for at least three years.
I think it's good value to be honest as my son gets one bin emptied every two weeks in Shoreham by Sea.

It could double as far as I'm concerned as long as the service remains the same.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

We pay a separate bin (basuras) tax, €24 a year, which is remarkable considering the house refuse is collected daily and recycling, depending on season, might be daily or slightly less frequent.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

Just had an announcement about this from our local town hall - the highlights of which are:-

"The mandatory application of Law 7/2022 requires municipalities throughout Spain to transfer the real cost of the garbage collection and management service to property owners.

Before April 2025, the new state-wide fee established by Law 7/2022 on waste management must be implemented, which is mandatory in all municipalities.

This Law is a transposition of the European Directives on Waste Management. These European Directives develop the sustainability and climate change objectives of the 2030 Agenda.

Faced with this European imposition, the aim is to recycle more and have less waste."

So we can blame the EU - tome for Spexit? No let's not go there!

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

​​​​​​I recently received my quarterly bill for basura water etc from the ayuntamiento and it has overall gone up around 18 euros. Everything thing seems to have gone up a bit not just the basura .

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

Its a shame the wages dont increase to cover everything thats going up

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

My Ayuntamiento have announced that they won't be charging the new rubbish collection tax in 2025. Don't know how they're going to get away with that as I thought it was supposed to be compulsory.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

Lucky you! And yes I thought it was compulsory as well - has your barrio left the EU!! (who originated it)

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

They will not get away with it - they just will not be eligible for any EU funds...

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

The Ayuntamiento have now approved the imposition of the new rubbish collection tax, but it won't be coming in until next year. For the first time they've given some indication of how much it will be - it will vary between €101 and €135 annually per household apparently, but the Council have promised that IBI will be reduced to minimise the impact on residents (we've never had a separate basura charge here, it has been included in the IBI charges). Hmmm, vamos a ver.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

Ours here in Polop has always been seperate.
€377 for our IBI
€167 for the basura.
Neither has been increased in the six years we have owned the flat.
The reason for the separate charges according to the town hall were to do with the collection scheme. We are not on an Urb but in a village attached to the town and our collection is different to the Polop Hills Urb. They decided it was not fair for us to pay as much as the Urb as we have fewer bins.
I prefer it that way as the payments come out of the account at different times of the year.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

we have always had a quarterly bill from the village ayuntamiento for Basura , water and i think sewage ? It gives the charge for each part separately, the basura one has gone up in last few months. We then also pay the annual IBI bill as well.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

My IBI bill last year was €432 (they reduced it by 3% in each of the last 3 years so it was 9% lower than when we bought the flat in 2017) - that included basura. We're in the centre of a large town. I'm not bothered about having separate bills that come out of the account at different times as long as the overall amount doesn't go up too much!

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

This article says only towns with more than 5000 inhabitants will have to pay...

https://spanishnewstoday.com/new_rub...0201000-a.html

Find that hard to believe - I am sure we had a message a while ago from our town hall about this and we are less than 5000 by a long way!

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

We pay 3 bills here - IBI, basura and a 3rd one for waste water etc. all paid annually. When they split the basura into 2, it double overnight from 79€ to 79€(ish) each. My IBI has remained fairly constant at 1200€

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

If people would learn to recycle than we would not be having these increases...

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

I rent in Benidorm, I don't pay IBI and my separate basura bill has always been €112 per annum since I came here in 2014.

Not always the case… our municipality implemented a big recycling initiative and if things are to believed achieving high percentage of recycling. Given the usual disaster in the basura casita with wrong type waste in the wrong container :banghead: I’m sceptical that they just weigh general waste compared to weight of recycled waste.
To achieve this initiative the cost of basura increased significantly now €136pa.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

It's the lorry which weighs the container so... yes.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

My pueblo (less than 1000 people) has raised the basura tax from 58€ to 90€ p.a. - just had the official notification from SUMA (the Alicante agency that collects these taxes)

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

Yes, life isn't always fair unfortunately, or linear.

i.e. a single person won't necessarily produce 50% - or less - of the rubbish a couple might any more than a family of four might produce 4x or six 6x etc. etc.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

Yes my thought is it is a rip off but nothing we can do as far as I know...

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

Just had my quarterly bill for services the bill has increased by nearly a third the increase is on basura. Mind you if you had up the annual total and add on annual IBI it is at least £1200 cheaper than council tax I was paying in UK.

Re: Bin Charges To Set To Soar Throughout Spain In 2025
 

Yes that is always a way of cheering up!
