Waste

In the Netherlands, we like a clean environment and take good care of nature. Everyone in the Netherlands is expected to:

  1. Throw waste (cigarettes, plastic, cans and packaging) in the bin
  2. Separate household waste into:
  • Vegetable, fruit and garden waste
  • Plastic packaging, metal packaging and drinking cartons
  • Paper
  • Glass
  • Textiles
  • Electrical devices
  • Residual waste

Check your municipality website in the waste calendar for the days your household waste is collected.
