However under the new legislation this is required, leading to an increase in costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the cost of emissions allowances is about \u00a337 per tonne of waste. However experts have predicted this figure to rise by up to \u00a3120 per tonne reaching potential highs of \u00a3150 by 2028.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If these costs are passed onto the councils it could lead to a lower budget and increased council tax bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This comes just a week after Sheffield City Council announced its plans to raise tax by the maximum 4.99%, starting in April, to fund what they describe as a \u201cdifficult financial situation\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms Thompson also questioned whether it&#8217;s fair for the BDR to use Taxes to fund the increased charge, stating that they should try to find solutions themselves before they come looking for other sources of funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said: \u201cWith them releasing a statement suggesting they want councils\/ individuals to pay for the increase in costs, I wonder whether they actually looked internally to see how saving could be made themselves?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The BDR team is actively exploring strategies to mitigate the impacts of upcoming regulations. However with the new rules scheduled to take effect in 2028, the extent of these measures effectiveness remains uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plans are in place for councils to work with government bodies and experts to create a plan to manage costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Yorkshire Council warn of new 14 million pound waste bill after new environmental regulations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":676,"featured_media":62532,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[41,21,85],"tags":[72,15,141,131],"class_list":["post-62528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environment","category-news","category-top-story-2","tag-council-tax","tag-news","tag-sheffield-city-council","tag-south-yorkshire"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
