maude Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hi Folks just a general query re the above.We have just received our bill for dustbin emptying again.Our close friends live about 5 miles from us and come under a larger town for all taxes.They do not have any bills for this service, it is included in fonciere or habitation.As usual I dont understand why one commune in the same dept is different from another apart from being in France.Any ideas please Maude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Just as in the UK there is a debate as to how to reduce the amount of waste. Some councils believe that by making people pay a separate charge for rubbish disposal it will make them more sensitive to the costs involved.....Discuss!

NormanH Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I live a flat in town, and have a small place in the country, which is let.My town flat has the 'ordures ménagères' included in the taxe fonciers, and there is a daily collectionThe price is under 100 eurosThe country place has a separate bill, a once weekly collection from the 'tri sélectif' large bins (which you have quite a long way to get to) and the price is 182 euros!This just shows how easy it would be to generalise from either one of these and start disagreeing about how these things are done in France with someone else who was also generalising, but from the other experience...On the 'difference ' aspect remember that these are local taxes and so the decision is made by each commune.
