Cure is giving all the mini containers (kliko's) in Eindhoven a new chip and address sticker.
This process lasts until the end of this year. We need to do this in order to keep emptying the mini containers with Cure vehicles. Without a new chip and sticker our vehicles will no longer be able to life the mini containers.
A letter is on the way
All Eindhoven residents using mini containers for their waste will receive a letter soon. This letter contains specific information about re-chipping the mini containers. In the letter, you'll also find a personal login for a special website.
The letter will be addressed 'to the residents' of the address. This is because Cure does not keep personal information.
Place your mini containers outside on the date in your letter.
When all containers of a certain route have a new chip and address sticker, our Cure vehicles will use this new information in their routes. We'll only empty the containers our Cure trucks recognize. The vehicles can no longer life the other containers, so these will be left full.
During the placement of the new chips, we will not make changes between 140 L and 240 L for the mini containers for residual and organic waste.
You can request containers for new addresses and paper containers through this form during the project.
Maximum amount of containers
Besides re-chipping and stickering your containers, we're also changing the maximum amount of containers for residents who currently have too many. For residual, organic and paper waste, there's a maximum of 2 mini containers per waste type. Only the residual and organic waste containers will receive a new chip and address sticker. This is because the paper containers stem from 2023. Two is also the amount of containers Cure will re-chip and sticker. The city council decided the maximum amounts for containers in November 2021.
This measure reduces the total amount of residual waste. Processing residual waste is expensive and the costs are only rising. It also burns a lot of useful materials. An exception is PBD (plastic) waste, this is sorted before the residual waste goes into the oven.

Extra costs for a second residual waste container
Starting on 1 January 2025, a second residual waste container will mean extra costs for residents.
- A second 140 L mini container will cost an extra €120,- per year.
- A second 240 L mini container will cost an extra €140,- per year.
- A second mini container for organic or paper waste will not cost extra for residents.
Contact Cure if anything changes
Neem bij een verandering met betrekking tot uw minicontainers altijd contact op met de klantenservice van Cure.

If you have a lost container after emptying, Cure needs to block it. This way, the container can't be misused.
This project is apart of the Eindhoven municipality's Afvalplan Plan B.
Frequently asked questions
“Mini container” is the official term for a waste container with two wheels. Kliko is a brand name that can only be used for mini containers produced by Kliko. Mini containers exist in different sizes. Cure Waste management uses two sizes of mini containers: 140 liters and 240 liters.
Putting a chip in all containers makes it possible to maintain a 100% complete administration. We can quickly process the spread and replacement of containers. We can track containers that have been stolen or taken by residents. We can prevent containers being offered more often than allowed. Cure Waste management can align the routes with the way containers are offered. It becomes easier to manage containers and solve possible issues. The chip is connected to an address (object data), not to a person (name). The data is only used internally and not accessible to the public. The data is used in accordance with the Personal Data Registration Act.
Each low-rise address in Eindhoven is obliged to have a grey container for residual waste and a green container for organic waste. The blue container for paper waste is not mandatory. If you don’t have one, you are obliged to separate your paper waste from residual waste. You cannot put paper waste in the grey or green container. You can no longer place paper waste by the street in boxes. If you do not want a blue container, you must dispose of your paper yourself by bringing it to a collective container or a waste recycling point.

While we are adding new chips, it is possible to request another container size if this is absolutely necessary. Do this through Cure customer service.
Every household pays a yearly waste tax. We collect your waste against this fee. This fee contains a base set of containers: One free grey container maximum, two green containers maximum and two blue paper waste containers maximum. The executive order in 2021 decided a second grey container now has an extra charge. This starts in 2024. You’ll receive the first bill in 2025.
You’re charged extra for the container purchase, emptying the container, transport and personnel costs and the processing costs of your residual waste.
You can voice your complaint by writing to the Cure Waste management customer service.
This isn’t a problem, the containers don’t have to be empty.
The second letter you’ll receive will tell you when we’re collecting the containers. You’ll place the sticker you received on the containers we’re collecting. This way, we’ll recognize the right containers.
You’ll find this in the second letter you received.
No, it’s a phased process. The phases are connected to the planned waste collection routes.
You’ll find a new sticker (10 x 15 cm) on the backside of the container with the Cure Waste Management logo and a bar code.
The old containers are collected and recycled to new containers.
You’ll receive a letter with the exact date.
No, the paper container already has a new chip.
Yes, it’s up to you which size you’ll keep. You can indicate this at Eindhoven.mijncontainer.nl
No, you do not pay every time you present your container. You’ll still pay a fixed waste tax per year.
