There are several bands in this tax system, which include hazardous, inert and<br />

municipal waste streams. The level <strong>of</strong> taxation for MSW decreases as components<br />

are removed for recycling i.e., if there is a collection system in place that removes 2<br />

components such as paper and glass, the tax will be lower than for the residual<br />

stream. This is most likely to incentivise the uptake <strong>of</strong> collection systems for<br />

recyclables. The rates applicable are shown in Table 52-3.<br />
