Sorting stations and recycling centres

Sorting waste

You can dispose of the following types of waste at every milieuperron (sorting station):

• Plastic and metal packages and drink cartons (PMD)
• Glass (clear and coloured)
• Paper and cardboard
• Baby nappies and incontinence pads

We collect organic waste (kitchen and garden waste) weekly and free of charge. Residual waste bags are collected once per two weeks.

You can take other types of waste to one of our milieuparken (recycling centres). You will be able to dispose of most of it for free. For some types of waste you will be charged. Please sort your waste beforehand at home. This allows our staff at the milieupark to see what you are dropping off and which charges apply.  

Sorting stations

Check the Milieu App for milieuperrons (sorting stations) near you. Or view the drop-down menu 'sorting station locations' at the bottom of this page.

• Only use the sorting stations if you are a Maastricht City resident.
• Dispose of your waste at milieuperrons between 7.00 am and 10.00 pm only.
• Do not place waste next to or on top of the containers. Go to another sorting station if the container is full, or take your waste back home with you.

Breaking the above rules can cost you money. Camera surveillance may be present at the milieuperrons.

Recycling centres

You can also take your waste to one of Maastricht's milieuparken (recycling centres): Beatrixhaven, Randwyck, Het Rondeel.
