Taking your rubbish to a waste depot
Dispose of your bulky waste, garden waste and construction and demolition waste at a waste depot using your Afvalpas. Most types of waste are accepted free of charge. Reusable goods can be taken to a charity shop (kringloopwinkel).
Always take your Afvalpas to enter the waste depots. Read more about the Afvalpas.
Are you unable to drop off your bulky household waste or garden waste yourself? Make a free appointment for the collection of your bulky waste. You can pay a fee to have construction and demolition waste collected. Make a separate appointment for this.

Construction and demolition waste
Read where you can drop off construction and demolition waste and what the fees are on the page Removal of construction and demolition waste.
Company waste
The rules for rubbish collection for companies are different from the rules for household waste. Companies may not drop off their rubbish at a waste depot. Contract an authorised waste management company to collect your company waste. You will find more information on the page Waste removal for companies.
Reusable goods
Reusable goods can be taken to a recycled goods shop (kringloopwinkel). For example, functioning televisions, clothing or furniture. Some charity shops have a collection service. Look at allekringloopwinkels.nl. Or have the items repaired, for example at a repair café.
