Municipality of Nijmegen: paying the waste collection charge

You pay tax for waste in the following ways:

• with the green and red garbage bag for residual waste;
• with the orange plastic+ bag for plastic, can and pack;
• if you use an underground residual waste container;
• at the recycling centers for certain types of bulky waste;
• in certain cases for the collection of bulky waste at home.

How much you pay depends on the number of times you dispose of waste or have it collected. Alternatively, it may depend on the number of kilograms of waste. The more waste that you dispose of or the more often you dispose of it, the more you pay.

Charges

You pay for each time you dispose of waste. The following rates apply:

• groene afvalzak: € 1,09 apiece;
• rode afvalzak: € 0,69 apiece;
• plastic+ zak: € 0,05 apiece;
• gebruik ondergrondse container: € 1,09 each time.

Bulky waste

When your bulky waste is collected from your home:

• reusable bulky waste (e.g. bulky garden waste, electrical appliances, large metal): 1st time free, 2nd time € 29,50;
• other bulky waste (e.g. broken furniture):1st time free, 2nd time € 29,50 each time.

Bringing bulky waste to the recycling center yourself:

• Do you have a waste pass? Then you can dispose of 200 kilos per household each year for free. Everything above that costs € 0,22 cents per kilo.
• Don't have a waste pass? Then you cannot go to the recycling center. Would you like to request a waste pass? Contact Dar ('Waste Cleaning Service'): call +31 24 371 60 00.
