A broken chair, an old cupboard, or a discarded table. These are items and materials that shouldn't be placed in the residual waste container, or that don't fit. And certainly don't belong on the street. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to dispose of these items properly. Much easier than you might think.
Give your things a second chance
What you no longer use might still be valuable to someone else. Is it still usable? Sell it, pass it on to family or friends, or offer it through a giveaway group on social media. Items often quickly find a new home there. Of course, you can also visit Kringloopplein or a local thrift store.
Is it broken?
There are other solutions. Have it repaired at a workshop or repair café. Or have the delivery driver of your new purchase take the old device away – many suppliers offer this service as standard. If you prefer to take it away yourself, you can go to the recycling center with your recycling pass.
