Would you like to have your construction and demolition waste collected from your home after a renovation project? This is possible only if this waste is in a rubble sack from a home improvement store or in a puinkub. A puinkub is a large sack (1 cubic metre) which you fill with rubble at home. The puinkub rubble sack can be purchased only at the Plutostraat station. It can be purchased from Monday to Friday.

To make an appointment to have the rubble sack or puinkub collected, go to the waste depot. You will pay the fees there in advance. It is not possible to make an appointment online for collection. Take your Afvalpas with you.

These are the steps to have your waste collected:

  1. Pay the fees at the reception desk of the Plutostraat waste depot. You can only pay using your bank card.
  2. You also make an appointment for collection at the reception desk.
  3. Your construction and demolition waste will be collected at your home during the appointment.
