How can I dispose of my household waste?

Disposing of your household waste depends on the neighborhood you reside in. Here's a guide to help you:

The Hague

Waste Containers: Throughout The Hague, you'll find underground waste containers. Ensure you separate your household waste by type and place it in the designated containers for residual waste ('restafval'), glass, paper, textiles, etc. If your waste doesn't fit into these containers, it's considered bulky waste. You can locate waste containers on this map.

Home Collection of Household Waste: If you live in a neighborhood where you regularly place your household waste in separate garbage bags for city collection, check the household waste calendar for your collection day. Enter your postal code and house number here for information on waste collection in your area.

Bulky Waste: Bulky waste includes items too large for regular disposal, like electrical appliances and furniture. Schedule a free collection for bulky waste here.
