Residents of Eindhoven can also have their bulk household waste picked up at home. For this, you use a Big Bag or sticker. The stickers are intended for collecting large pieces of furniture, such as an old sofa or bed (one sticker per item). The Big Bags are suitable for almost all types of bulk waste.
Bulk waste or bulk household waste is waste that is too big or too heavy for a household refuse bag or (underground) container. Consider, for example, household goods, mattresses, old carpeting or broken (garden) furniture.
What is NOT allowed in a Big Bag:
- Chemical waste including TL lights and paint cans et cetera
- Car tires: with or without rims
- (Sharp) glass and glass panes
- E-waste: big and small appliances
- Construction waste: tiles, plastering, metal et cetera
- Garden waste: pruning waste, sand and gravel, et cetera
- Material (possibly) containing asbestos: corrugated sheets, old sewage and heating pipes, old stove pipes, bathroom tiles (these bring serious health risks for you and your environment)
Due to health risks for the environment. You can dispose of these separately at the waste recycling point.
