On Saturday, June 21, the festival On the Ring takes place. We are taking measures to keep the city clean this weekend and throughout the summer and to prevent full containers.
During the weekend of June 20 to 22, a large part of the A10 will be closed to traffic due to the festival On the Ring. In addition, main routes within the ring will be closed to keep access clear for emergency services. Therefore, we will collect waste at different times.
Waste Collection during the On the Ring Festival
We will not empty the containers for glass, paper/cardboard, and textiles on Saturday and Sunday, but before or after the weekend. For residual waste, we are taking measures to collect waste as efficiently as possible and reduce the chances of full containers. If a container is full, please dispose of your waste in another container or take it back home.
Residual Waste in the Centrum District
- We will empty the residual waste containers earlier than usual. We will start on Saturday at 04:00 and on Sunday at 05:00. This may cause noise disturbances. We hope you understand.
- In the neighborhoods where waste bags are collected on Saturday, nothing will change. We will deploy an extra waste truck to finish faster and prevent congestion.
Residual Waste in the North, Southeast Districts and Weesp Area
We will empty the residual waste containers earlier than usual. We will start on Saturday and Sunday at 06:00. This may cause noise disturbances. We hope you understand.
Other Districts
In other districts, we will empty residual waste containers before and after the weekend.
Businesses
For businesses around the A10 with a business waste contract with the municipality, we will collect waste on a different day.
Cleaning During and After the Festival
- We will place toilets and extra large waste bins on the access routes from the major public transport stations and bike parking areas.
- On Saturday, we will deploy more cleaners to keep these routes clean. They will empty the waste bins and pick up litter.
- The municipal cleaning service will not be able to perform its normal cleaning work in many places in the city on Saturday. Therefore, starting Sunday, we will deploy more cleaning crews. There will be extra attention for the center, the access routes to the festival site, and the parks and recreation areas.
- The ring and the on- and off-ramps will be cleaned afterward by an external party.
Road Works A10 and Closure of Coentunnel
This summer, there will be road works on various parts of the A10, and the Coentunnel towards the North will be closed. Through extra efforts, proactive work, route adjustments, and temporarily dumping bulky waste on a municipal site, we expect to collect waste at normal times and days. We may be slightly delayed due to congestion and detours.
More Waste Bins This Summer
This summer, we will also provide extra waste bins in busy areas. In parks and recreational areas, extra large waste bins and containers will be placed. We will also place separate containers for deposit bottles and cans.
