The Upcyclecentrum has employers who recycle waste into new products in special workspaces.
From 4 August 2025, the Upcyclecentrum in Almere Haven will be closed for an extended period of time. This decision has been made by the college based on working conditions and the health of the construction staff. Read here for more information on the closure of the Upcyclecentrum.
The station is spacious and covered. Are you unsure where to put your waste? Our staff on site will happily help you out. What should you bring and what should you not bring to the Upcyclecentrum?
The Upcyclecentrum has employers in special workspaces who reshape waste into new products. With upcycling, new products are made from old materials.
The employer that currently has a workspace in the Upcyclecentrum is MyATC Design. Arold from MyATC Design makes furniture from recycled and re-used materials.
Above the Upcyclecentrum lies the experience centre (belevingscentrum). Here you can see for yourself what upcycling is, what is needed for it and how one can do it. The area is designed in a circular shape. There are various upcycled goods on display made from materials of Almere. Here you can attend workshops, organise meetings or participate in an educational programme. Would you like to have visit, plan a tour or reserve an area in the experience centre? Then feel free to contact upcyclecentrum@almere.nl.
The Upcyclecentrum was built and designed with re-used materials. Large amounts of concrete and steel originated from the old vehicle depot and the old recycling centre of the Almere municipality. Tiles, sanitation and large doors came from the old sports centre and swimming pool. The building generates its own energy with solar panels on the roof. There is no gas connection and rainwater is used to flush the toilets.
Camera surveillance is present at the waste recycling centres of Almere Poort, Haven and Buiten. You can find more information about this in the privacy statement on camera surveillance at recylcing centres (in Dutch).
