View answerEstimated projections are shown in the table below. These are based on the actual leviable tonnes of waste to landfill from 2016 – 2019, from the published audited accounts available at www.gov.ie/en/publication/f6b84-environment-fund-accounts/. The projected figures are approximate and do not take into account a wide range of variables such as varying degrees of behavioural change arising from different levels of increase, late interest payments, etc. The figures have been prepared as an approximate forecast only and do not necessarily reflect potential future increases to the landfill levy.
