The Base Unit Price List for the Waste Sector in Iran serves as a reference for determining costs related to waste management and is formulated and issued by the Plan and Budget Organization of the country. This price list includes costs associated with collection, transportation, disposal, recycling, and other waste-related activities. The first version of the Base Unit Price List for the Waste Sector was issued by the Plan and Budget Organization in 2022 (1401 in the Iranian calendar). This initiative aimed to standardize costs related to waste management in urban services and construction projects.

In 2023 (1402), an updated version of the price list was released, incorporating necessary revisions and enhancements based on feedback from municipalities and executive bodies. The latest version of the Base Unit Price List for the Waste Sector was officially published on March 16, 2024 (Esfand 26, 1402) by the Plan and Budget Organization. This version was issued under the circular number 1402/709865 and has been made publicly available.

Establishment of the Price List Secretariat

As part of the revision efforts, the Organization of Municipalities and Rural Affairs established a Waste Sector Price List Secretariat in 2024 (1403). The secretariat aims to gather feedback, suggestions, and recommendations from major cities and municipalities to ensure continuous improvement and updates to the price list.

According to planned revisions, review sessions for the Waste Sector Price List will be held in 2024 (1403). During these meetings, proposed changes and suggestions from cities and municipalities will be evaluated, approved, and incorporated into the price list. This dynamic process ensures the price list remains flexible and allows for necessary adjustments.

Regular revisions and updates of the Base Unit Price List for the Waste Sector are crucial for adapting to technological, economic, and environmental changes. These updates enable a more accurate cost estimation for waste management, leading to better planning and execution of related projects with higher efficiency.
