From November 19, 2023, SIA “Clean R” will increase its waste management tariff. The changes in waste management will affect the Eastern Directorate of Riga City Center, the administrative territory of Riga Latgale suburbs, and the Riga Kurzeme district of the Pārdaugava Directorate.
The changes in service prices will be minor – for household waste management, they will increase by 43 cents per cubic meter. Meanwhile, the fee for the disposal of biodegradable waste, which is already 20% cheaper than household waste management, will decrease within the 1% range. The adjustments in service fees are related to inflation and the direct increase in service delivery costs.

The most effective way to reduce costs, even with increasing tariffs, is thoughtful shopping and waste sorting. It’s worth noting that the management of segregated glass, paper, plastic, and metal packaging is provided free of charge, while the costs of biodegradable waste disposal are lower than household waste management.
