All households in Zoetermeer have (or will receive) an environmental pass from the municipality. This is a yellow tag with the municipality's logo on it. Do you have underground containers for household garbage and gft-e (vegetable, fruit, garden and food waste) in your neighborhood? Then open these containers with your environmental pass. The environmental pass also gives access to the Self-Delivery Depot.
