agree  Chris Hopley: Perhaps more fully 'waste collection and disposal levy'.// Maybe I'm splitting hairs :-) but it is defined as a charge for 'ophalen en verwerken van huisvuil' (http://overheidsloket.overheid.nl/index.php?p=product&produc... ).

  -> Thanks. But would waste collection not by definition include its disposal (whether or not in accordance with environmental regulations)?
