Paper and cardboard are collected separately, so that they can be recycled into, for example, newspaper, toilet paper, packaging materials, etc.
Starting March 6, Cure will start distributing the new paper containers to all homes in Eindhoven.
This new container has a blue lid and is specially designed for waste paper and cardboard.
Residents will receive a letter a week in advance with more information.
How is the waste collected?
Depending on where you live, the waste paper will be collected in a (underground) container or it needs to be placed on the sideway before 7.30 o'clock on the day it will be collected. (at 7.00 o'clock during the months july and august) This is enforced by BOAs of the municipality of Eindhoven. The costs of €145 for cleaning up will be charged to you if a violation is found.
Please bundle your paper waste or put it in cardboard boxes (not in plastic bags).
Check your waste collection schedule for collection dates and times.
