The diftar (pricing incentives) municipalities have the lowest amount of residual waste per inhabitant, on average 129 compared to 216 for the municipalities without diftar. From the group without diftar, the municipalities that have a strong focus on lowering the service of residual waste collection, increasing the service for raw material collection and/or post-separations of pmd showed better results (News Item NVRD, 15 November 2017).
