Anywhere in Amsterdam // no fixed address

How it works

Empty it, let it drip out, cap on, into general waste. Droppie also accepts them separately if you are passing anyway.

AMSTERDAM USES POST-COLLECTION SEPARATION: drink cartons go in general waste and machines sort them after collection. This differs from many other Dutch municipalities.

Careful

no separate carton bin in Amsterdam. it simply does not exist here.
