Starting January 1, 2027, residents of Sector 1 in Bucharest will face a waste tax of 9.99 lei per person, subsidized by the local government. Those who fail to separate waste may incur a fee of 44.40 lei monthly. The tax is based on the number of residents rather than property size, with penalties for non-compliance including fines up to 1,000 lei. Property owners must declare the number of residents, with a deadline of April 30, 2027, for the first year. Exemptions apply to certain vulnerable groups, and the tax covers waste management services, excluding street cleaning and snow removal. The mayor emphasizes the necessity of this tax to meet legal obligations and promote responsible waste management.
