What does the garbage charge on the water bill mean?

Urban living garbage disposal fee refers to the cost of collection, transportation and harmless treatment of urban living garbage, excluding the cost of cleaning, transportation and cleaning before garbage collection to the garbage transfer station uniformly set up by the Municipal Appearance Management Bureau. Municipal solid waste disposal fees adhere to the principle of "polluter pays".

All state organs, enterprises, institutions, individual operators, social organizations, urban residents, urban temporary residents and units and individuals that carry out various construction projects that produce domestic garbage within the urban area shall pay the municipal solid waste treatment fee in accordance with the regulations. The garbage disposal fee withheld from the water fee shall be turned over to the financial special account, and the domestic garbage disposal fee collected shall be mainly used to pay the garbage collection, transportation and disposal fees to supplement the shortage of domestic garbage disposal facilities, and no unit or department may intercept or misappropriate it.
