Kontrola plateb a poplatků:
Kontrolu placení poplatků provádí u provozovatele skládky obec a krajský úřad

Rizikový poplatek – příjem SFŽP
Příjemcem navýšené částky poplatku v novele zákona bude kraj.
Příjmová část rozpočtu SFŽP byla ke dni splněna na 105,7 % stanoveného plánu.Příznivý vývoj plnění je způsoben zejména vyšším výběrem poplatků ve složce odpady, kde došlo vlivem působení zákona o odpadech ke změně sazby za ukládání odpadů – zdroj. Výroční zpráva SFŽP v roce 2005.
