How to dispose of your waste?
The Municipality will pick up your residual waste on Mondays and Thursdays (don't use the Renewi waste containers!). 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 a thrashbag, and place it out on the side of the sidewalk. The Municipality will come pick it up on Mondays and Thursdays.
- Put the thrashbag out either the night before a pick up, or between 6:00-7:30AM on Monday and Thursday!
- 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 a 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:
- The City will collect it: Call 14 020 to make an appointment free of charge.
- Take your items to a Waste Collection Point (‘Afvalpunt’): The Waste Collection Point for your neighbourhood is Rozenburglaan 1.
