Find the Right Waste Calendar and Disposal Route for Your Address

A postcode can cover several homes and sometimes different collection routes. Open the municipal afvalkalender or check your address with BinMinder, select the exact property and confirm the waste stream beside each date. Follow the municipality's current notice for holiday changes.

Flats may use underground or shared containers instead of door-to-door collections. In that case, the municipality's access information and calendar apply; a nearby low-rise street's schedule is not interchangeable.

If a correctly presented container was not emptied, use the reporting page of your municipality or collector. Include the address, waste stream and scheduled day. Conditions and reporting windows vary locally.

Bulky waste goes through a local collection appointment or milieustraat. Check accepted materials and whether you need an appointment, waste pass or payment. For electrical appliances, the national old-for-new rule also requires a seller to accept a comparable old appliance without charge when you buy a new one.

The Dutch government explains that municipalities must collect household waste but may choose door-to-door collection or central street containers. Each must also provide a waste drop-off or recycling centre.

The government's appliance return guidance covers retailer and recycling-centre routes. Bin colours, collection dates, waste passes and bulky-waste bookings remain local.
