S.L. 549.7 Art. 9Waste deposit fee.

Any person who deposits waste and, or WEEE in a public deposit site must pay the fee indicated in Schedule C to the government entity responsible for waste management strategy implementation for every metric tonne of such waste to be deposited:

Provided that if the actual weight of the rubble or waste to be deposited cannot be established, the government entity entrusted with the responsibility for waste management strategy implementation may demand the same rate indicated in Schedule C but calculated against a density of 2 metric tonnes per cubic metre for every cubic metre as estimated from the outer dimensions of the receptacle which contains rubble or waste which is not hazardous waste:

Provided further that the deposit of domestic waste in the public deposit sites indicated in items 7 to 12 in Schedule B by the householder generating that waste, is exempt from payment of this fee:

Provided further that any person who deposits dredged material or inert uncontaminated geological material in a deposit site at sea as included in Schedule B, must have in his possession a permit in writing to this effect from the Authority, and pay any fees as the Authority may so require. The Minister responsible for the environment jointly with the Minister responsible for finance, may, through publication of a notice in the Gazette, exempt any person from the payment of such fees, in full or in part, if, the project in question is declared to have any strategic or national significance:

Provided further that the Authority may refuse to permit the deposit of rubble, waste, WEEE, and, or hazardous waste in a deposit site if in its opinion this will result in considerable damage to the environment or is in contravention of international obligations, or for any other reason the same Authority deems appropriate.
