Guidelines at the recycling centre

We want you to enjoy your visit to the recycling centre. We make sure that you can easily deliver your sorted waste to the right containers. And we are happy to guide you if you are in doubt. In return, we expect you to follow our nine simple guidelines.

1. Sort and deliver your waste correctly

You must sort and deliver your waste yourself according to the instructions we provide in our sorting guide and at the recycling centre. This applies in particular to hazardous waste and potentially asbestos-containing waste.

2. Only use clear bags

Use clear sacks when sorting your waste at home. Clear bags provide better sorting at the recycling centre, as both you and we can easily see the contents.

3. Leave leftovers and food waste at home

You cannot drop off extra residual waste or food waste at the recycling centre. Contact your municipality if you do not have room for your waste in the containers.

4. Your car must not weigh more than 3,500 kilos

Vehicles that must be operated with a large driver's license cannot enter the site. Cars may have a maximum weight of 3,500 kilos. If you bring a trailer, it is not included in the total weight.

5. You have to lift your waste into the containers yourself

If you have heavy or large items that you can't lift yourself, you can invite a friend along to the recycling centre. For the sake of our working environment, you must lift your waste into the containers yourself - and clean up.

6. Don't make a mess

You are not allowed to take things out of the containers - we will make sure they are recycled. However, you can take reusable items from our free containers. In our Gensalg stores you can find everything from furniture, ceramics and cookware to clothes, shoes, baby and children's equipment. Of course, you can also donate your own items for recycling. You can do this under the canopy at the recycling centre.

7. Care for the environment and those around you

Turn off the engine when moving around the site. We recommend turning off the engine if your car is stationary for more than a minute. It's better for both the environment and those around you.

8. Take good care of the kids

Children are always welcome at our recycling centres. But while it's exciting for many children, it can also be dangerous. There are both large macines with poor visibility and cars reversing - often with trailers. So keep an eye out and keep the little ones safe.

9. Ask if you are in doubt and ffollow our instructions

If you are unsure about sorting or placing your waste, please ask us so we can guide you. We also expect you to follow our instructions.

We look forward to seeing you!
