A landfill tax or levy is a form of tax that is applied in some countries to increase the cost of landfill. The tax is typically levied in units of currency per unit of weight or volume (£/t, €/t, $/yard³). The tax is in addition to the overall cost of landfill and forms a proportion of the gate fee. ==Reasons for landfill tax== A tax or fee may be imposed on landfills or other disposal facilities as a means of raising general revenues, to generate funds for inspection programs or long-term mitigation of environmental impacts related to disposal, or as a means of inhibiting disposal by raising the cost in comparison to preferable alternatives, in the same manner as an excise or "sin tax". Landfilling is discouraged due to a number of key reasons: *Climate change caused by landfill gas from biodegradable waste *Loss of resources * *Constraints on areas suitable for landfill sites * *Loss of recyclable components of waste landfilled * Nimby objections causing political problems 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Landfill tax」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
