Landfill Tax

Landfill Tax is a fee imposed by governments on waste disposal at landfill sites. It aims to encourage recycling and reduce waste by making it more expensive to send rubbish to landfills. The tax is charged based on the amount and type of waste, with higher rates for biodegradable materials. The revenue generated is often used to fund environmental initiatives. By increasing disposal costs, the tax incentivizes businesses and individuals to minimize waste and seek more sustainable waste management practices, ultimately supporting environmental protection efforts.
