Waste containers

What is it?

Containers

Waste is collected in containers in Nuenen. In underground communal containers (for apartments) or in three containers per household (for houses).

What do I use which Waste container for?

You use the blue container for paper.

You use the gray container for residual waste.

Use the green container for vegetable, fruit and garden waste + food scraps.

You use the underground containers for residual waste and waste paper.

The municipality has registered the Waste container at your address, this way the number of times you put waste in the container is tracked. Once a year you will receive the statement of this with your WOZ assessment.

Digital waste calendar

What you can throw in the Waste container and information about pickup can be found in the Digital Waste Calendar.

What to do?

If you:

• does not have a container and you want to request a container,
• Or you want to exchange a container for a larger or a smaller one
• Or when your container is broken,
• apply for an environmental pass for underground containers 

Then you can arrange it online. You will receive the instructions for exchanging the container after applying. 

If you have questions about emptying your container or malfunctioning underground container

You can easily report a problem with an underground container to the municipality. Each container has a container number and a QR code. When you scan the QR code with your phone, you will be taken directly to the reporting system of the municipality of Nuenen. There you can enter the number of the container in question. This gives us all the information we need to quickly resolve any problems with an underground container. 
Please direct any questions about this to Blink. 

If a container is not completely emptied

Of course, it is annoying that your container has not been completely emptied. Unfortunately, it is not possible to request an extra emptying. If the waste does not come out when the container is tilted and shaken, and falls out of the container, then the waste was probably stuck. For safety reasons, among other things, the collection service is not allowed to remove the waste from the container with their own hands. You can rest assured that Blink will do everything it can to empty your container. We therefore advise you to loosen the contents of the container as much as possible before the next collection day. You could perhaps put the bags in the container a little less full to prevent the waste from getting stuck. Your collection will still be registered. 

Waste container or stolen

If your container is lost or stolen, please contact Blink at. Your old container will then be blocked so that no one else can use it.
Tip: wait a few days before calling Blink, as it often happens that a container has been taken by mistake by a local resident.
