There are different types of containers in Valkenswaard and they function differently. All types of containers and manuals will be available on our website soon.

Are you using another container and would you like a manual? Contact our customer service.

If your card is broken, you can request a new one for free. If your card is missing, you can request a new one for €15,-. In both cases, contact Cure Waste Management customer service at 040 - 2500 130. 

An underground container is a big collection container placed mostly underground. Residents of flats and (upstairs) apartments can use these for their residual and organic waste. The containers can be opened using a municipal card or Cure environmental card.

Residents of a one family or upstairs apartment with backyard use a grey mini container (kliko) for residual waste and a green mini container (groenbak) for organic waste.

If you live in a flat or apartment, you can use (underground) collection containers near you. 

Supermarkets and mall parkings have collection containers for glass, plastic or PBD and textiles.

If you're meant to use an underground container for your waste, you can open it with your environmental card.

Are you unable to dispose of your waste? You can bring it to another container or bring it back home. Do not place the waste next to the container. You can be fined for €145,-.

Is the container full or faulty? We'd much appreciate if you'd report this in the Valkenswaard Mijn Gemeente App. We can fix the error as soon as possible or empty the container.

Please report the container number, this is on top of the container (white stickers with black numbers).

You can also e-mail or call customer service.

From December 31st to January 2nd, above-ground containers for plastic, paper and textiles are closed temporarily because of fireworks. The containers are closed by hand on the 31st and reopened on the 2nd January.

New residents of an existing or new build home can request a municipal card for free with customer service up until 3 months after registering. You can use this card to open underground residual waste containers and some plastic containers that can only be opened with a card due to safety. This also goes when you move within the municipality. You need to be officially registered to the address. After six weeks you'll pay €15,- for the municipal card.

In Valkenswaard, there's a set fee per year for residual waste. You do not need to pay each time you use the container.
