We collect reusable textiles in all of our service areas. If there are additional options available for your neighbourhood (such as books, toys and electronics), they will be shown in the app.

The maximum size per box/bag is 30 x 30 x 30 cm. The maximum weight per package is 10 kg.

We NEVER collect: vacuum cleaners, batteries, furniture, lamps & light bulbs, printers, paper waste and/or dirty textiles.

If the items are still in good condition, they will be reused through our network of sustainable partners. These are, for example, local thrift stores and parties such as Boekenbalie.

If it turns out that the items can no longer be reused, we will ensure that they are properly recycled. The materials from which the items are made will then be reused as raw materials. This is how we protect the environment.

You can make use of our service an unlimited number of times. However, the availability of timeslots is based on your area and may change over time. Check the app to see the up-to-date schedule.

For environmental reasons, it is advisable to collect as many items as possible at once and offer them at the same time. This way, we reduce our ecological footprint by reducing the number of journeys.

Pack each category separately. Use bags up to 60 litres for textiles and sturdy boxes for books, electronics and toys.

Ensure each box is fully filled to prevent shifting and weighs no more than 10 kg and. Make sure boxes are no larger than the size limit of 30 x 30 x 30 cm.

Label the package(s) with pen and paper; mention 'Byewaste' and the category, attach the label clearly visible on the package(s) and seal them close for safe transport.

If your pick-up has not been cancelled in advance by the collector, we will still drive by your house during the reserved timeslot.

In this case, please put your belongings in a water-resistant box or bag, so that they do not get wet.

Due to the safety measures of our collection partners, they are not allowed to carry heavy items down the stairs. In this case, they are not insured for accidents.

Please make sure that someone is present on the collection day to help carry the items, or bring them down before the chosen timeslot in case there is no elevator in the building.

In the case of a paid pick-up, you retain the right to a refund if canceled up to 24 hours before the chosen timeslot.

In the event of a later cancellation, we unfortunately need to charge the costs. This is because we have taken your pick-up into account when arranging the logistics.
