Talking with young people

WASTE AND ENVIRONMENT

Disposing of empty cylinders.

Empty cylinders should not be thrown away with household waste or left in public space. Use the municipal drop-off point: Milieubrengstation Amersfoort, Nijverheidsweg-Noord 35. A ROVA pass may be required, so check current rules and opening hours before you go.
Found a cylinder or dumped waste in public space? Report it through the Gemeente Amersfoort reporting form.
