Separate collection of diapers and incontinence materials
In the municipality of West Maas en Waal, since January 1, 2024, you have been required to dispose of your diapers and incontinence materials in special containers. There is at least one container in every village. Disposing of bags containing diapers does not incur any additional costs. This is included in the waste disposal tax.
The incontinence materials allowance scheme is being discontinued.
Open the container with a pass
You can open the container free of charge with the Avri (residual) waste card. If you do not have a card, you can request one from Avri via www.avri.nl/ or by calling 0345 585 353.
You can use your Avri waste card at all textile containers, diaper and incontinence material containers, and underground residual waste containers in the eight Avri municipalities.
Special waste bags
Please place diapers and incontinence materials in special waste bags. These bags are available free of charge at various collection points in the municipality.
You may also provide your own bag. It must be transparent so that the waste processor (ARN) can check the contents.
