Due to the strike, the municipality could not dispose of the waste at the waste processor. As a result, the containers are full and there are garbage bags on the street. Many Rotterdam residents have also stored their residual waste at home.
To resolve this, the municipality will collect the waste as quickly as possible and deploy extra garbage trucks and personnel. However, it will take several days to clear everything and empty the containers.
Extra Garbage Trucks
The municipality has already been able to deposit small amounts of waste at the waste processor on Wednesday. Therefore, some waste has already been collected in certain areas. We are doing everything we can to get the city clean again as soon as possible.
Other Collection Days
Meanwhile, please continue to separate your waste now and in the future: paper and cardboard, glass, gfe+t, bulky waste, and textiles are collected separately. Check in the waste guide.
