How to dispose of your waste?

You can dispose of your residual waste, paper/cardboard and glass in the waste containers next to the parking lot. 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: Place your bulky waste on the street side of the pavement after 21:00 on Tuesday or on Wednesday before 07:00. Make sure it’s within easy reach of the collection vehicle.
  2. Take your items to a Waste Collection Point (‘Afvalpunt’): The Waste Collection Point for your neighbourhood is Marie Baronlaan.
