Commentaries: Art. 32e

The Federal Council may require that a charge be paid to the Confederation:
1. by the operator of a landfill on the deposit of waste in the landfill;
2. by any person who exports waste for deposit in a landfill, on the export of waste.
In the case of landfills in which only non-contaminated waste is deposited, a charge may only be required if it is necessary in order to fund the recovery of such waste.¹
The Federal Council determines the rates of the charge, taking special account of the expected costs and the various types of landfill. The maximum rates of the charge are as follows: a. for waste deposited in Switzerland: 1. in the case of landfills for non-contaminated or lightly contaminated waste: CHF 8/t, 2. in the case of other landfills: CHF 25/t; b. for waste deposited abroad: 1. in the case of underground landfills: CHF 30/t, 2. in the case of other landfills: as much as it would cost to deposit the waste in a landfill in Switzerland.² 2bis. The Federal Council may adjust the rate of the charge under paragraph 2 in line with Swiss Consumer Price Index.³ 3–6 …. ⁴
