In late July 2026, the assembly of mayors of the ATO Toscana Centro approved a budget safeguard and adopted Economic‑Financial Plans for 2026‑2029. The plans, based on the third regulatory tariff method, set a framework for each municipality to determine its TARI (waste‑tax) rates by 31 July each year and include the revamp of the Montale waste‑treatment plant as the core solution for integrated waste‑cycle management.

A week later, on 31 July 2026, the Grosseto municipal council voted unanimously to introduce SEPA Direct‑Debit for TARI notices, with the system to start in 2027. Officials expect the new payment method to simplify bill settlement, reduce missed deadlines and commission fees, and improve cash‑flow reliability, potentially allowing discounts or incentives for taxpayers.
