How does it work?

Bringing bulky waste to the waste collection station

When bringing your waste to the waste collection station, please keep the following in mind: Separate your bulky waste beforehand. Bring your Avalex card, as this provides access to the waste collection station. Payment is strictly by debit card only.

If you do not have an Avalex card or if your card is missing, you can request a new card via the website of Avalex or by calling (0900)-0507 (local rate). Please note that your old Avalex card will be blocked, and you will receive a new one by mail.

Collection of bulky waste by the municipality

The municipality of Voorschoten collects bulky waste for a fee of €25, and collection is strictly by appointment.

Procedure for bulky waste collection

Separate the various types of waste from one another to make collection as easy as possible.
Tie the waste together into easily manageable bundles.
Place the bulky waste alongside the public road where the garbage truck can easily access it.
Do not place it on private property.

Extra information

You are only permitted to place your bulky waste outside after 10:00 PM on the evening prior to your appointment, or before 7:30 AM on the day of the appointment itself. This ensures that the bulky waste remains in place and does not cause any inconvenience for others. In some cases, you may be required to place the bulky waste at a specific location, such as near the roadside. You are not allowed to place bulky waste on private property; it must be presented alongside the public road. Please specify the exact location where you will place the bulky waste when making your appointment.
