How to dispose of your waste?

You can dispose of your residual waste in the waste containers on the corner of Nieuwe Foeliestraat/PHK Campus. The waste containers for paper/cardboard and glass can be found at across from Kadijksplein 11. These are the rules:

• Put your residual and plastic waste in the container marked: ’restafval’.
• Throw your paper and cardboard in the container marked: ‘papier’. Tear your cardboard boxes small before throwing them in. Cardboard boxes are never bulky waste.
• Only glass used for food and drinks packaging may be put in the container marked: ‘glas’.
• Is the container full or broken? Walk to another container to dispose of your waste.

If you place your waste next to the container, you risk a fine of at least € 100.

Bulky waste

• Bulky waste includes large items that don't fit in the container, such as appliances and furniture. Please note: large cardboard boxes are never bulky waste and belong in the container marked ‘papier’.

This is how you dispose of your bulky waste:

1. The City will collect it: Call 14 020 to make an appointment free of charge.
2. Take your items to a Waste Collection Point (‘Afvalpunt’): The Waste Collection Point for your neighbourhood is Rozenburglaan 1.
