Plastic, metal and drinking containers (PMD)

The municipality of Voorne aan Zee PMD in various ways.

  • In Brielle, Vierpolders, Zwartewaal, Oostvoorne, Rockanje, and Tinte, please use the orange mini-container.
  • In Oostvoorne, Rockanje, Tinte, and Oudenhoorn, you may use PMD bags in addition to the mini-containers.
  • In Hellevoetsluis, you can dispose of PMD in the neighborhood collection bins.

You can also drop off PMD at the Environmental park. A 15-cent deposit applies to small plastic bottles. You can recognize these bottles by the deposit logo. You can return them at supermarkets, highway gas stations, NS train stations, and other collection points. Want to know which types of waste belong in the PMD bin? Check the Milieucentraal website at . 

Do you have a report regarding underground containers in your neighborhood? If so, please contact the Reinis Customer Service Center at 0181-612864.

Here's how it works

  • Health that all packages are empty. There is no need to rinse out the package.
  • Caps may remain on packages.
  • Beverage cartons you can fold flat first and screw the cap back on before throwing them away.   
  • Remove paper, cardboard or aluminum foil.
  • It is best to bend canning jar lids inward.

Not all types of plastic are allowed in the PMD. These are usually large or long pieces of plastic, such as agricultural plastic and/or shrink wrap. Buckets, tubs and so on are also household items, but are not included in PMD. This is because these are hard plastics.

Turn in plastic that does not belong to the PMD

Do you want to offer plastic that does not belong to the PMD waste? Then read the Waste Separation Guide.

Good to know about PMD

Do you still deliver material that does not belong to the PMD waste? Then the collector will leave the waste. You are responsible for removing that material from your PMD waste yourself. Contamination of the PMD waste leads to rejection of the completely collected batch of PMD waste. That will then be incinerated. A missed opportunity because a valuable raw material is lost as a result.
