Sticker for biodegradable waste (GFT)

In the sub-municipalities, we collect organic waste in a container for biodegradable waste. Place a valid sticker on your container every year.

Biodegradable waste (GFT) collection in the city centre
Do you live in the city centre? In that case you don’t need a GFT container or sticker. We collect the biodegradable waste in green compostable bags.

When do you need a sticker?

A container for biodegradable waste must always have a valid sticker. You must replace the sticker every year:

  • From the beginning of January you can buy a sticker for the new year.
  • The container must have a valid sticker by 28 February at the latest.
