If you live on the ground floor of a flat or container, you can request an organic waste container (groenbak) through customer service. The conditions are that you should be able to store the container on your ground or storage and that there should be a collection route in your neighbourhood.

Organic waste is typically collected once every two weeks. You can present your green container (kliko) on your collection day. You find the schedule on our waste calendar. The amount of collection moments can be different in fall/winter.

• Put the container in a cool spot away from the sun.
• A few props of newspaper (or woodcurls, hay etc.) can be put at the bottom of the container to prevent leaving any organic waste behind.
• Airing the container, though it may sound contradictory, gets continuous air in the container, preventing excessive smells.
• Pack easily rotten food scraps like meat and fish in a newspaper before disposing of them.
• Do not throw moist waste in the container. For example, let your grass dry after mowing it.
• Clean the container regularly using water and maybe green soap. Do not use chlorine, this is bad for the environment.

If your container hasn't been fully emptied, this can be an inconvenience.

Check the contents of your container to see if there's no blockage. When the container is too tightly packed, this can also be a problem with emptying the container. 

In these cases we kindly request you remove the blockage. Present the container at the next regular collection date.

Cure does not provide extra collection in these cases.
