Landfill and incineration levy increases are among the changes likely to be made to waste management in Ireland.
An international review of waste management policy, published today, suggests an increase in the landfill levy to €30 per tonne by 2010, to €50 in 2011 and to €75 in 2012.
The incineration levy is ecpected to be in the range of €20 to €38 per tonne.
The report commissioned by Minister for the Environment John Gormley examines all aspects of waste management policy, from prevention and minimisation to the management of residual waste.
