What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Waste authority SMD3 in Dordogne is replacing its pay-as-you-throw bin charges with a property-based tax starting January 1, 2027. This change covers over 350 of Dordogne’s approximately 500 communes. The previous system, in place since 2023, required households to pay a fixed charge plus a variable amount linked to household size and bin usage.
