Garbage, plastic, can and drink containers
From January 2022, Plastic and Metal Packaging and Drinking Packs (PMD) will be allowed in the container for residual waste. The waste processor will then later remove PMD from residual waste so that it can still be recycled. Other waste streams such as VGF, textiles and paper/cardboard cannot be removed from residual waste afterwards. You must therefore always dispose of these separately in the correct container.
The municipality of Wassenaar wants to make waste collection easier for its residents. By collecting the residual waste with the PMD in one container, you no longer have to think about whether something is PMD or residual waste. At the processor, the PMD will be separated again and the still valuable materials can be reused.
