Waste

In the Netherlands, we love a clean environment and take good care of nature.

Everyone in the Netherlands is expected to:

  1. Throw waste (cigarettes, plastic and packaging) in the bin
  2. Separate household waste into:
  • Organic waste (vegetable, fruit and garden waste)
  • PMD (plastic packaging, metal packaging and drink cartons)
  • Paper and cardboard
  • Glass
  • Textiles
  • Electrical appliances
  • Reusable items
  • Residual waste
