- Court case involving the municipality receiving a contribution from a waste fund for work related to packaging waste

- The municipality’s task includes collecting household packaging waste, which is paid for by the packaging industry
- The responsibility of the packaging industry does not limit the municipality’s statutory task
- Appeal is granted
