Household waste

You can dispose of your household residual waste in the underground containers in your neighborhood. Residents of flats/apartments and residents of the Fortress in Brielle who have opted for an underground container can also dispose of their residual waste in the underground container in the neighborhood.

You will need your environmental pass to do this. If you use minicontainers, you put your waste out on a designated day. In the AfvalWijzer you will find an overview of which mini-container is emptied on which day.  

There are also waste containers in your neighborhood for paper and cardboard, plastic, glass and textiles. Check in which bin your waste belongs via Afvalscheidingswijzer.nl.

If the waste is too large or heavy to put in a garbage bag or container, it is bulky waste and other rules apply.

Do you have a report about waste containers in your neighborhood? If so, please contact our customer contact center at 14 0181.

What should I do?

Residual waste, biodegradable waste, bulky household waste and plastic waste packaging (PMD) are collected door-to-door every other week. With the exception of residual waste and GFT waste, it is possible to hand in your waste at the Environmental park.

If your waste is picked up on a set day, it is important that you put it out the right way:

Tips on using underground containers

  • Use a regular gray trash bag and don't overfill it. You can also use pedal bin liners.
  • Your waste will not be registered.
  • Bring waste that does not fit in the container to the Environmental park.
  • Do not place waste next to the container (you risk a fine).
  • Please report if the container is full or if your environmental card is not working.
  • Do not park a car in front of the underground container. This will prevent the container from being emptied.
  • Do not use the container before 8 a.m. and after 9 p.m. This prevents noise pollution for your fellow residents in your living area.
