Bulky Waste Amsterdam

Looking to Dispose of Bulky Waste in Amsterdam?

First, visit the Amsterdam.nl website to find the collection day for bulky waste in your area.

Enter your address in the search field:

Next, look for the section called "Grof Afval" to find out your area's bulky waste collection day. Check for the item labeled "Ophaaldag."

In this example, the collection day is Monday (Maandag):

This means that on Monday morning (typically around 7:00-9:00), a special truck will collect bulky waste left out on the streets in your neighborhood.

To ensure your bulky waste is collected, place it on the curb before Monday morning. It's best to do this one day before the collection day—on Sunday in this case.

Generally, bulky waste is placed next to garbage containers on the curb.

Important: Do not block the containers!

‼ If the items you’re discarding are still in good condition and could be reused, consider adding them to the Stooping Map for Amsterdam.

Items listed here will be reposted on the Instagram account @stoopingmap where followers may pick them up before the collection truck arrives.

Areas with Multiple Bulky Waste Collection Days

Areas without Bulky Waste Collection Days

This means you cannot leave bulky waste on the street. Instead, you’ll need to schedule a pickup, which is free of charge.

Alternatively, you can bring your bulky waste to a collection point, though locations may be inconvenient.
