Bulky waste
Bulky waste is waste that is too large or too heavy for regular trash bins, such as furniture, large toys, bicycles, and box springs. Electrical appliances, mattresses, and fences are also considered bulky waste. Construction materials are not considered bulky waste.
You bring bulky waste to the Self-Delivery Depot. Here you can separate it properly so that it can be recycled. If you are unable to take your bulky waste away yourself, you can also have some of it collected. You must make an appointment for this. Bulky waste that is collected goes into a compactor truck and unfortunately cannot be recycled.

Location
The place where you can leave your bulky waste so it can be picked up is called the collection point. This is where you place your green or gray bin when you want it emptied. Or right next to the underground containers where you dispose of your residual waste and organic waste. Make sure you do not place bulky waste at the base of the underground containers, otherwise they cannot be emptied. In some apartment buildings, a special area has been set up for this purpose. This is indicated by a sign.
