Container hangers for mini-containers without chips
Most new mini-containers have now been delivered, and most existing containers have been fitted with a chip. In the coming weeks, we will complete the final deliveries. To ensure all mini-containers can be emptied properly, it is essential that each mini-container has a chip. The chip enables the container to be recognized by the collection system and ensures the new waste separation system operates reliably.
What will happen?
Starting next week, our collection teams will pay extra attention to mini-containers that are missing a chip. If we encounter such a mini-container, we will attach a container hanger with instructions on the next steps. If you receive a hanger, please read the information carefully and contact the helpdesk of Engels Logistiek BV at 085 020 42 27 to arrange for a chip to be installed. The helpdesk is available on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
Important
From April onwards, mini-containers without a chip will no longer be emptied. A chip is required to register which mini-containers belong to your address and to ensure the collection system functions properly. Thank you for your cooperation.
