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 (a standard moving box). 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.
