In recent years there was a significant coverage of around 12 million euros, mainly due to the high proceeds of the garbage heating unit (MHKW). This coverage is now faster, so that the repayment takes place over two years instead of over three years. In addition, the minimum number of empties per year is reduced from twelve to eight.

The planned conversion of the recycling center in Illertissen to a second disposal center was initially put on hold. From 2026 the fee system will be critically evaluated and a comparison with alternative fee models could be made. A possible change could be considered from 2028.

In the first half of July, the property owners of the affected communities are written to in order to carry out a demand for needs. The majority of the mayors of the municipalities concerned are positive about the planned change. "It is important to involve the citizens in the decision -making process," said faithfully.
