Prohibited Possession
The possession and use of knives, (for consumers prohibited) fireworks, and laughing gas creates dangerous situations. Laughing gas has been banned since 2023, but cylinders and tanks are still found in the city. By removing these items from the streets through this collection campaign, we reduce the chance of incidents.

This collection campaign aligns with the joint goal of the municipality, police, and Public Prosecution Service to reduce weapon possession among youth. This way, we remove dangerous items from the streets and make it clear that possession and use are not accepted.

Multiple Collection Points and Dates
Spread over several days in different districts, it is possible to hand in these items. Together we make the city safer.
