Comments:
Currently only in the city of Damme. Introduced in 2020 PAYT-System: Frequency-based collection (Frequency fee = bags to be purchased. No minimum frequency, different prices for biowaste and residual waste). In municipality of Damme, the system is additionally weight-based (bin collection).
