Other types of waste

Do not pour used cooking oil or fat down the drain or toilet—it can cause blockages. Instead, dispose it at a yellow collection container near you. You can also drop it off at the GRIP-station during certain times of the year. Read more about GRIP (Dutch only).

You can throw glass into the glass container with the lid and food leftovers still on. There is no need to rinse it first.

Put all food residues, small garden waste and flowers in the GFT container.

You can have coarse dirt collected by the thrift store (de Kringloopwinkel). Or you can take it to the waste recycling center (milieustraat) yourself.

Small chemical waste contains harmful substances that can damage the environment. Dispose of it safely!

Only baby and toddler diapers are allowed in the diaper container. Incontinence products are not permitted.

Do you use incontinence materials for a medical reason and therefore have extra residual waste? You may be eligible for a discount on residual waste costs.

Old paper and cardboard are easily recyclable, but they must be clean, dry, and not contain plastic.

Where does paper waste go?

• In the blue-lidded paper container, which is emptied every four weeks. Check deAfvalApp to see your collection days. No paper container at home? Request one by calling 14 0492.
• In apartments and De Veste, use the shared paper containers at your building or in the courtyard.
• Drop-off locations for paper waste:
  • Stiphout: Kloosterstraat 5 – Friday & Saturday, 08:00 AM - 12:00 PM;
  • Mierlo Hout: Koeveldsestraat 16 – Saturday, 09:00 AM - 01:00 PM;
  • Thrift store (de Kringloopwinkel): Noorddijk 2 – Monday to Saturday, 08:00 AM - 04:30 PM;
  • Waste recycling center (milieustraat): Gerstdijk 1 (appointment required).

You can dispose of:

• empty plastic packaging;

Put them in a transparent PMD bag.

Got clothes or shoes you no longer wear? Donate them! Even torn clothes can be recycled—95% of textiles can be reused.

If textiles go in residual waste, they cannot be recycled. Hand them in at a textile collection point.
