It is Safety Week. Therefore, there is an extra focus on container presentation rules to ensure safe and smooth waste collection. You can help by putting your container on the road in the right way.
Supply rules containers
Follow the offer rules below to ensure a safe and clean neighbourhood together.
Use rubbish bags
Put your waste in a transparent rubbish bag and tie it tightly before throwing it in the pmd or residual waste container. Use special compostable bags to collect your GFT waste. This will prevent light materials from blowing away when emptied and ending up on the street.
Container valve closed and maximum 80 kg
The flap of your container must be able to close and the containerer must not be heavier than 80 kilos. If the container is too heavy, the collection truck's system locks and the container cannot be emptied.
Before 07.30 on presentation site
Put your container on the collection day before 7.30am at the delivery point. Remove your emptied container from the public road as soon as possible. This will prevent unsafe situations and nuisance in your neighbourhood.
Opening to the road
Put your container with the opening facing the road. Then, after the container is emptied, the valve opening will fall shut again, preventing waste from spilling onto the street.
Keep the passage clear
Do not put your container behind parked cars or park cars in front of the container location. This ensures free passage for the collection truck.
At least 50 cm away from obstacles
Put your container at least 50 centimetres away from lampposts, bollards, trees and parked cars.
No loose items
Do not place any waste, items or raw materials next to the container. These will not be taken away.
Together we will ensure a safe and smooth collection as well as a clean neighbourhood. Thank you for your cooperation!
