The waste bill in Gandia has seen a 13.5% increase this year, rising from 118.32 euros to 134.26 euros, according to City Council data.

Waste collection and treatment bills have seen an increase in Gandia this year due to the rate update approved by the Waste Consortium V5 (COR). According to data provided by the City Council, a typical bill has gone from 118.32 euros in 2025 to 134.26 euros in 2026, representing an increase of 15.94 euros and a 13.5% rise.
The councilor for Urban Quality and Basic Services, Adrià Vila, expressed the local government's rejection of this measure and recalled that the municipal executive had already voiced its opposition when the proposal was approved by the supramunicipal body last November.
Vila pointed out that the average increase approved by the Consortium is around 20%, although its final impact varies depending on the characteristics of each bill. 'We already warned that this was going to happen. The PP, with all its majorities in the different administrations, approved a rise that is already impacting the economy of families and productive sectors in Gandia,' he stated.
The municipal official recalled that the City Council formally conveyed its disagreement through a manifesto presented to the municipal plenary, which alerted to the consequences the measure would have on residents and businesses.
In this regard, Vila argued that any increase of this type should be accompanied by a detailed explanation of the reasons justifying it and the planned management model for waste treatment. 'The contribution of citizens must be proportionate, supportive, and adjusted to the current reality,' he stated.
The councilor further explained that the local government requested the Consortium to reconsider the decision. 'In December last year, we presented a manifesto that did not have the support of either the PP or Vox, and we formally asked COR to review and rectify this increase, but we received no response,' he assured.
Vila concluded by calling for efficient service management and measures that avoid fully transferring costs to citizens. 'The residents of Gandia deserve an efficient and dignified waste treatment service, not unilateral decisions that burden citizens without offering solutions or alternatives,' he pointed out.
