Return Waste Container

Would you like to return a household waste container by the municipality? Then please fill in the onlin form. Please note, a few household waste containers are mandatory and cannot be returned.

These 2 waste containers are Cmandatory:

  • A gft container for vegetable, fruit, gardening and food waste
  • A rest+pmd container for residual waste, plastics and metal packaging and drinking containers

Do you have other container(s) aside from the above that you would like to return, such as an extra gft container or a paper container? You can do so. Instead of having your own paper container, you can choose to:

  • Deliver paper and carton waste at a paper container in the neighbourhood
  • Household paper waste containers that you can share with one or multiple neighbours

How long does this take?

You will receive an email within 5 working days which will notify you of the date when we will pick up the container(s). It is not necessary to be at home for this.

Costs extra container

From 2026, there are additional costs involved with an extra container for gft or rest+pmd waste. During 2026, households with an extra container will receive more information on the subject by mail. Afterwards, you can decide if you wish to keep the container(s). Do you already have an extra containerfor gft or rest+pmd and do you not use them? Then you can return them to prevent paying additional costs.
