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!

Is your container lost or broken? Make notification through the online form or contact customer service via 040 - 2500 130. 

Your municipality decides your waste collection times. Our vehicles depart at 07:30. Make sure your container is at the public road in time. You can enable notifcations in the Cure Afval app.

New residents of an existing or new built home can request or trade their waste container for free within 6 weeks after registering. You can do this with our customer service. You need to be registered at the address. After 6 weeks you will pay €20,- per container for trading. In this case, you'll also pay for the delivery if it's concerning waste containers for a new build.

The fees for the waste tax and emptying the containers are set each year by your municipality. You pay every time you offer your container for emptying. You are billed for this once a year (at the end of February).

Visit the Geldrop-Mierlo municipality website for the current fees.

It is not always possible for people with a physical impairment to get the container to the collection place. An 'exception sticker' allows you to offer your waste outside of your house, on municipal ground. If you are eligible, you can request a sticker through our customer service: 040 - 2500 130. Please list your name, address, phone number and the reason you're requesting the sticker.

On the Geldrop-Mierlo waste calendar page, you'll see when waste is collected in your neighbourhood. You'll also find a holiday schedule. On so-called catch-up days around holidays, collection might be on another time than usual. Make sure your waste is outside at the right time. Our vehicles depart at 7.30.

Has your container not been emptied? Report it through the web form or contact Cure Waste Management customer service within two working days.

NB: We check all requests against our emptying log for your neighbourhood. If it turns out we were in your street on the emptying date, we will not come back an extra time. 

For Eindhoven and Geldrop-Mierlo this is 7:30.

For Valkenswaard this is 6:30.

Yes, you can trade your waste container (kliko) for another size. The costs are €20,00. Trading is free when you move houses, but only if the request is made within six weeks after moving. To do so, contact Cure Waste Management customer service at 040 - 2500 130.

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

240 liter

• 58 cm width, 75,5 cm depth and 110 cm height
• without waste, the weight is 13,5 kg 
• the container holds the contents of 4 to 5 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.

For Eindhoven and Geldrop-Mierlo, this is 7:30.

For Valkenswaard, this is 7:00.
