Containers 

In every neighbourhood in the municipality, there is an underground container for residual waste. Many households in the municipality can bring their residual waste to these containers at any time. In addition, low-rise houses have a minicontainer for paper, organic waste (GFT), and plastic, metal, and drink cartons (PMD). Residents of ribbon development areas also have a gray minicontainer for their residual waste.

PMD, paper, and branches 

For low-rise houses, the municipality collects plastic, metal, and drink cartons (PMD) and organic waste, like food and garden waste (GFT) every other week. Paper is collected once every 4 weeks, and branches are collected twice a year.
