Bulky waste is waste that is not allowed in the residual waste container. Waste that is too big, too heavy or has to be processed separately. Bulky waste can be brought to the recyclingperrons (recycling facilities), or it can be collected by appointment.
All citizens of Almere can bring their bulky waste to a recyclingperron or have it collected for free. Would you like to have your bulky waste collected? Make sure to check the rules and which products we do and don’t pick up. That way you will prevent your waste lying outside.
Brown and white goods: electrical devices such as TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, sunbeds (make sure to remove the fluorescent lights), but also small devices. Fridge freezers and fryers should be empty and clean.
Other bulky waste: sofas, closets, mattresses, (garden) furniture or parts thereof, pallets, Styrofoam, surfboards, retractable awnings (in parts no longer than 1.5 metres). Old bicycles, quadracycles and such should be provided with a name and address. That way we know we take the right ones.
A large part of these products can be brought to a recyclingperron. You can also find locations where you can bring your residual waste on the page of the recyclingperrons.
You can book an appointment online to have your bulky waste collected. Keep in mind that there is a waiting time of around 3 weeks. If you want to change or cancel your appointment, call 14 036. You cannot change your appointment online.
This form is only available in Dutch.
Do you live in Almere Stad Centrum or the Staatsliedenwijk, then you do not have to book an appointment for collecting your bulky waste.
We only collect bulky waste if it fulfils all the conditions listed.
Companies are responsible for the processing of their own waste. The government will not collect their bulky waste. They can have it collected by a licensed private company, which can be found via the NIWO-ondernemersloket. You can also bring bulky waste to Cirwinn (Portonweg 10, Almere) or PreZero (Damsluisweg 51, Almere).
