For instance, in Pokrov, Dnipropetrovsk region, a local waste disposal company has already announced upcoming changes. The new rates have been published on the official website of the providers, detailing the recalculation of fees for waste collection and disposal.
Residents of multi-apartment buildings will soon pay 35.26 UAH per person per month, while those in private homes will be charged 40.98 UAH per person per month.
The company explained that the last rate adjustment occurred on September 1, 2023. Since then, the cost of services has significantly increased.
Expenses for the maintenance and repair of special equipment have tripled, and electricity costs for industrial needs have risen by 32%.
Additionally, the prices for fuel and lubricants have increased by an average of 12%, while the rise in the minimum wage has led to a 16% increase in labor costs.
The service provider emphasized that these factors necessitated the adjustment of waste disposal rates in light of rising operational costs.
