At the community council of February 8, the mayor of Montataire Jean-Pierre Bosino (PC) summarized the state of mind of a good number of elected officials.
“No one jumps for joy at the idea of paying a 5% household waste collection tax (Teom).
We are all going to vote for it, constrained and forced.”
After eight years of operation without an increase in tax rates, the Creil Sud Oise agglomeration (Acso) is looking for money in the face of its revenue drying up.
“We no longer have the housing tax, certainly compensated by the State, but not enough.
We needed to rebalance our tax revenue,” explains Jean-Claude Villemain (PS), president of Acso and mayor of Creil.
Especially since the start of the year, communities have been obliged to offer their residents sorting solutions for bio-waste.
Bio-waste management, an additional cost
“Collecting bio-waste will cost us an additional 2.7 million euros,” explains Isabelle Rose-Massein, vice-president in charge of household waste.
The overall budget for removal and treatment amounts to 9 million euros.
We must then add 2.7 million for the operation of the recycling centers.
Teom should bring in 4.6 million euros to the city.

After free distribution of individual composters during the first part of the year, the city will organize a separate collection of bio-waste from the second half of the year.
Which implies the “processing of this new flow” and “the installation of voluntary contribution points”.
Acso also plans to invest in two new skips, for 800,000 euros in expenses.
On average, households in the metropolitan area will have to pay 78 euros per year.
But this local tax being calculated in relation to the price of the building, the amount will vary depending on the city.
In Oise, with the exception of Oise Pays d'Halatte and the Aire Cantilienne which opt exclusively for an incentive fee, all other intercommunal authorities finance the collection and treatment of waste with the Teom.
