How it works

Amsterdam uses post-sorting: plastic packaging, metal packaging and drink cartons are mechanically removed after collection. Never use it for batteries, electronics, chemical waste or bulky items.

Careful

bag does not fit? leaving it beside the container will not make it smaller. find another one.
