Waste management and recycling
The way we collect PMD
The way to dispose of PMD is to put it in your residual waste container. After collection, the PMD will be sorted in a materials recovery facility. The recovered materials can be recycled and used in new products.

Domestic waste collection
The brown container is for GFT(garden) waste and the gray container is for residual waste. Depending on where you live the containers are emptied on certain days. In addition the waste collection containers near the flats are emptied weekly. During National Days, the waste collection days can differ from above schedule. Please call us to find out when the containers are emptied in your living area.
