Based on these laws, the municipality has drawn up Generally Binding Regulations No. 3/2015 and No. 1/2016.
Citizens can bring small construction waste to the construction waste landfill on Dlhá Street. The fee for small construction waste is 0.020 euros per kilogram (20.00 euros per ton) and its amount is determined according to Act No. 582/2004 on local taxes and local fees for municipal waste and small construction waste, as amended.
