In the last quarter of the year, we temporarily place a leaf basket in about 128 locations in the municipality. So there is always one nearby. Check here for the exact locations.

The leaf baskets are for leaf litter only. The municipality is investigating options for processing and recycling leaf litter. Therefore, leaf waste is collected separately. This means that no branches or other trimmings may be left in the leaf baskets.

The leaf boxes are emptied weekly according to a set route. During emptying we check whether the correct type of waste is in the basket. In case of improper use we hand out yellow and red Maps . A yellow Map is a warning; a red Map means the leaf bin is permanently removed for that season. The following season the leaf baskets are reinstalled and reviewed.

In some places the leaf boxes have been moved or removed, for example to the outer edges of neighborhoods. This is because we cannot maneuver the truck properly in narrow streets.

The leaf baskets that have been removed are baskets that are structurally misused for other trash, blocked by parked cars or barely used.

The leaf baskets will be removed again at the end of December. Once the leaf basket is removed, no leaf litter may be left behind.
