Waste, household waste

What is it?

You can dispose of your household waste in the collection container in your neighborhood. If there is no collection container near you, put your garbage out on a set day.

There are also separate waste containers in your neighborhood for paper and cardboard, plastic, glass, textiles and small chemical waste. Check which bin your waste belongs in via Afvalscheidingswijzer.nl.

If the waste is too large or heavy to put in a garbage bag or container, it is bulky waste and other rules apply.

What to do.

If your trash is picked up on a set day, it is important that you put it out the right way:

  • Sort the trash.
  • Put trash in garbage bags.
  • If you have trash cans that you take out every week, make sure the cans are not too full or too heavy. If you do not yet have bins, request them from the municipality.
