How to dispose of your waste?

You can dispose of your residual and paper/cardboard waste in the waste containers near Rode Kruislaan. 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.
