Basic Fee for Holiday Homes

A basic fee (former eco-charge) is invoiced to households and holiday homes in the Stormossen region. The basic fee is used to finance, among other things, ecopoints, recycling stations, campaign collections and waste advisory services. Vaasa Region’s Waste Committee’s (Vaasan seudun jätelautakunta) approves the regional waste charges for basic fees. You can read the complete Waste charge (in Finnish) by clicking this link.

The basic fee for holiday homes is 37,57€/year. Stormossen will enhance waste services for holiday homes by establishing a network of approximately 100 collection points for biowaste and mixed waste. The fee also makes it possible to place ecopoints in sparsely-populated areas and organize scrap collection campaigns in the archipelago.
