Due to the expected heat, the heat plan is in effect from Wednesday, August 12 to Friday, August 14. Are we emptying your container during this period? Then place your container at the drop-off point before 7:00 AM. Are you visiting a recycling center or the Kringloopplein? Then please take into account the adjusted opening hours.

Starting Monday, August 17, we will be replacing the hazardous waste depot at the recycling center in Hardinxveld-Giessendam. As a result, you will temporarily be unable to drop off small chemical waste (KCA) at this recycling center. Therefore, please temporarily drop off your KCA at one of our other recycling centers.

On Friday, September 25, 2026, Gorinchem gets moving during Gorinchem Clean in 1 Day. Residents, schools, businesses, and organizations will clean up litter in their own neighborhoods that day. Together, we will make the most beautiful fortified city in the Netherlands a visibly cleaner city as well. Will you join in?

A clean and easy-to-empty container prevents a lot of hassle. Waste can sometimes stick or smell, especially in the organic waste container. With a few simple habits, you can prevent a lot of inconvenience.
