Resolution CRA 1040 of 2026 sets the new Tariff Framework for the Public Waste Collection Service, affecting about 42 million people in 273 municipalities. The rule links the tariff to verifiable urban cleaning results through the concept of "clean area" and incorporates internet of things, GPS and operating indicators to track sweeping, washing of public spaces and maintenance of green areas. Requests and complaints resolved in the user's favor can trigger discounts, and source separation of waste influences possible tariff relief.
