WHY YOU SHOULD SEPERATE WASTE

Pizza boxes, beer bottles, packaging and food scraps. If you properly separate this waste, only a small amount of general waste will remain. You pay for this general waste each time you offer it. So the better you separate your waste, the less you pay!

BAG SIZE

You can dispose a bag of up to 40 liters in a general waste container. That is comparable to a pedal bin bag. You can buy these bags in almost every supermarket, as well as online. You can't place a waste bag of more than 40 liters in a general waste container, because it will get stuck!

IF YOU DUMP YOUR WASTE NEXT TO THE BINS, YOU GET A FINE OF €95!
