Frequently asked questions about waste

By separating waste properly, materials can be reused. Think of plastic, paper, glass, and green waste. This means that fewer raw materials need to be extracted and less residual waste is incinerated. This is better for the environment and helps to keep the costs of waste processing as low as possible.

With Diftar, you pay partly for the amount of waste you put out. Those who have less residual waste and separate their waste properly pay less. This system encourages waste separation and helps to reduce the amount of residual waste in the municipality.

The municipality determines the policy and rules for waste collection. The practical implementation—such as collecting waste, managing containers, and answering questions—is carried out by Cure Afvalbeheer.

Every municipality in the Netherlands is required to collect and process household waste. The costs for this are paid via the waste collection tax. This amount consists of a fixed part and a variable part that depends on how often you put out your waste.

In the digital waste calendar at www.mijnafvalwijzer.nl. You can also download the Cure Afval app. The app shows you when different types of waste are collected and allows you to set reminders.

Report this within two business days using the report form on the Cure Afvalbeheer website. This will allow us to investigate what went wrong and find a solution.

Waste that does not belong in regular household waste, such as bulky waste, chemical waste, or construction waste, can be taken to the recycling center. On the page about the recycling center, you can read what waste you can drop off there.

The waste is transported to various processing sites, where it is sorted and recycled as much as possible. Residual waste that cannot be reused is incinerated, generating energy in the process.

For questions about containers, collection days, underground containers, or reports about waste collection, please contac, at Cure Afvalbeheer.

In our municipality, residents pay partly for the amount of waste they dispose of. We call this Diftar. The aim is to improve waste separation and reduce the amount of residual waste. Those who dispose of less residual waste therefore pay less.

Containers may weigh a maximum of 70 kilograms. If a container is too heavy, the garbage truck cannot empty it safely. In that case, the container will remain where it is and you will have to put the waste out again on the next collection day.

Waste left next to the container can cause litter on the street, attract pests, and create dangerous situations. Only waste that fits in the container and is presented with the lid closed will be collected.

Please contact Cure Waste Management customer service at. They can repair or replace the container.

Yes, that is possible. For example, if your household grows or shrinks. Please contact Cure Waste Management for this. A fee may be charged for exchanging a container.

Please contact Cure Waste Management. They can request a new card for you. A fee may be charged for a replacement card.

The municipal card belongs to a residence and is intended for the residents of that address. The card is used to register waste collection requests.

If possible, use another container nearby. Do not leave waste next to the container. Report a full or broken container via the BuitenBeter app or to Cure Afvalbeheer customer service.

The rules help to ensure that collection is carried out safely and efficiently. If containers are positioned correctly, the garbage truck can empty them more quickly and safely.

Waste that is incorrectly separated often cannot be recycled properly. In some cases, a container cannot be emptied or a warning may be issued.

Paper, plastic, cans, and beverage cartons are valuable raw materials. By collecting them separately, they can be recycled and reused for new products.
