To the waste disposal site
Are broken items really beyond repair or use? Then you can take them to the recycling centre using your environmental pass. You can also bring items that do not belong or fit in the container as often as you like.
Most always brings you free
Even after multiple visits, you always bring the next commodity for free:
- Asbestos
- Baby nappies
- Tyres
- Chemical waste
- Electrical appliances
- Frying fat and oil
- Gas cylinders
- Glass (coloured and white)
- Hard plastic
- Mattresses
- Metal
- Paper and cardboard
- Styrofoam
- Textiles
- Flat glass
When do you pay a tariff?
For bulky garden waste, rubble, wood, plaster and bulky household waste: the first 3 times a year are free, after that residents of Gorinchem, Hardinxveld-Giessendam and Molenlanden pay a rate for these streams. This can only be done by PIN, which is safe. Residents of Vijfheerenlanden do not have to pay separately, the municipality will decide on this later.

Dispose of residual waste at the waste disposal site
Would you like to bring bags of residual waste to the waste disposal site? You may do so, but please dispose of bin bags containing fine residual waste in the underground residual waste container at the waste disposal site, just like in your neighbourhood. You pay the same fee as for the residual waste container in your neighbourhood.
Easy, quick and safe access to the waste disposal site
- Take stuff apart at home
Then you can hand in more materials separately: they can be reused. - Smart loading = faster unloading
By loading your car or trailer smartly, you can unload faster. Make sure the same types of materials are together. - Don't forget your environmental pass
When you arrive, make sure you have the environmental pass to hand.
Borrow a trailer for free
Lots to take away? Or bring away when it suits you? Borrow a trailer free of charge from Waardlanden. You may use the trailer for a maximum of two hours. This makes cleaning up and taking it away to the waste disposal site a lot easier.
Borrow a trailer from Waardlanden for 2 hours free of charge
