In the capital area (serving 62 percent of the population), for example, households and smaller enterprises can bring materials covered by recycling schemes free-of-charge to recycling centers, however, other items, e.g. garden waste, building waste, etc. are accepted against payment. Larger operators can take bulky waste directly to the waste sorting facilities against a gate fee, however, waste which has been separated and is subject to the recycling fee is accepted without payment. These gate fees vary according to site.
