Residents of a one-family or upstairs apartment with backyard, use a grey waste container for residual waste and a green container for organic waste.

If you live in a flat or apartment, you can use the collective (underground) containers in your neighborhood.

Supermarkets and shopping centers have collective containers for glass, plastic waste and textiles.

Geldrop-Mierlo

If Cure cannot empty your container because of frozen contents, you will still be charged for emptying. Make sure that when there's frost at night, your container is in a sheltered spot. If the contents have frozen anyway, try to loosen them at the sides so the container can still be emptied.

More tips:

• Place a small piece of wood - like a stick - between the lid and the container, so that the lid does not freeze.
• Put a piece of newspaper or an egg carton at the bottom of your container.
• Do not tighten your waste.
• Let (garden) waste dry out before putting it in the container.
• Do not use salt to avoid frost, this will contaminate garden waste.
• Remove snow from the lid before offering your container.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation!

It is not always possible for people with a physical impairment to get the container to the collection place.

Yes, it's possible to trade your waste container to another size. This is free in Eindhoven. In Geldrop-Mierlo you pay 20 euros and in Valkenswaard it's 25 euros for each waste container.

To make an appointment for trading your container, fill out this form.

You can choose from two sizes:

140 liter

• 50,5 cm width, 55.5 cm depth and 110 cm height
• without waste, the weight is 10kg
• the container holds the contents of about 3 waste bags

In case of frost, there's a risk some containers can't be fully emptied because of frozen waste.

Cure shakes the containers extra, but cannot increase or the containers will break. It's not of use for us to come back after a report when the weather situation hasn't changed. The container still won't empty fully. 

We kindly request you present your waste container on time on the next collection day.
