In the Netherlands, we like a clean environment and take good care of nature. Everyone in the Netherlands is expected to:
- Throw waste (cigarettes, plastic, cans and packaging) in the bin
 
- 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.
