Waste recycling centres

Then you can use the waste disposal points in Gorinchem, Groot-Ammers, Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Leerdam and Vianen. Here you will find more information on what you need to know before your visit to one of our environmental centres.
Crowds at environmental centres
Recently, it has regularly been very busy at the waste disposal centres. Then it can happen that a queue forms and you have to wait before you can enter the waste disposal site. For the safety of you, other visitors and our staff, not too many visitors are allowed on the site at the same time. Our staff decide how many. Please note: in case of extreme traffic and a long queue, we may close the queue half an hour before the regular closing time.
Method and regulations
For your and our safety, there are rules for visiting the environmental centres.

Make bulky waste appointment
If you cannot bring your bulky household waste to the waste disposal site, you can have it collected from your home free of charge. Bulky household waste is mainly discarded household goods that you do not bring to a recycling shop.

In the workshop, people who need a helping hand work under supervision to repair or make up as many goods as possible, such as furniture.
