Collect your free bag of compost from April 4th
Many residents in Arnhem already conscientiously separate their vegetable, fruit, food scraps, and garden waste (GFT). We greatly appreciate this effort. Coffee grounds, potato peels, food leftovers, and wilted flowers: a large portion of household waste consists of GFT. By collecting this waste separately, we can turn it into compost. This compost is then used, among other things, for parks, flower beds, and sports fields in Arnhem.
Once again this year, we would like to thank you for your commitment. Upon presentation of your waste pass, you can collect 1 free bag of compost. The compost is made from Arnhem’s GFT and is available while supplies last.

From April 4th, you can collect your free bag of compost at:
- Afvalbrengstation Noord: Beijerinckweg 9a
