What is bulky waste?
Bulky waste is:
- Household waste which does not fit into a garbage bag, mini container or underground rubbish container. Or waste which is too heavy.
- Large garden waste which does not fit into the green (GFT) container. For example, tree trimmings and branches.
Locations for your bulky waste
Large items of waste that don’t fit into the waste container (e.g. couch, mattresses, wood or plasterboard) can be brought to one of our four waste collection centres. These locations have a number of large containers in which you can dispose of your waste and there are friendly staff who will be happy to help you find the right containers. There are a few house rules at these recycling centres to ensure the safety of you and our employees. Construction, demolition or chemical waste are not ‘bulky waste’, but they can also be brought to one of our collection centres.
Note: the appointment planner is in Dutch.
Avalex pass
In order to use our collection centres, you will need an Avalex pass. This pass is connected to your address and each address gets only one pass. If you do not already have a pass, you can order it using the online form. (Note: this webpage is only available in Dutch.) If you have just moved and there is no pass in your new household, acquiring the pass is free of charge. However, for a replacement pass the charge is €7.50.
