You can dispose of your residual waste in the waste containers on the corner of Nieuwe Foeliestraat/PHK Campus. The waste containers for paper/cardboard and glass can be found at across from Kadijksplein 11. 

• Put your residual and plastic waste in the container marked: ’restafval’.
• Throw your paper and cardboard in the container marked: ‘papier’. Tear your cardboard boxes small before throwing them in. Cardboard boxes are never bulky waste.
• Only glass used for food and drinks packaging may be put in the container marked: ‘glas’.
• Is the container full or broken? Walk to another container to dispose of your waste. 
• If you place your waste next to the container, you risk a fine of at least €100

Glass, paper & plastics are collected in special containers throughout the city.

Used batteries are collected in all supermarkets. Ask the helpdesk at the entrance for the whereabouts.

In Amsterdam, it is common to separate your waste by utilizing the different recycling options, in order to work towards greener environmental solutions. 

Bulky waste

Bulky waste includes large items that don't fit in the container, such as appliances and furniture. Please note: large cardboard boxes are never bulky waste and belong in the container marked ‘papier’.

This is how you dispose of your bulky waste:

1. The City will collect it: Call 14 020 to make an appointment free of charge.
2. Take your items to a Waste Collection Point (‘Afvalpunt’): The Waste Collection Point for your neighbourhood is Rozenburglaan 1.
