The snow festival not only produces a lot of snowmen and igloos, but also slippery roads and frozen waste containers. This makes the work of waste employees a lot more difficult. To prevent accidents, they therefore temporarily collect waste less often.

This means that most mini containers will be eating snow with a full belly this week. The GFT+E will also not be collected until January 16. Underground containers are only emptied in places where the garbage trucks can reach, so narrow and slippery streets are skipped.
When?
It looks like it will thaw on Sunday or Monday. If that happens, the municipality will go back to the (garbage) bin from Monday 12 January to catch up on the backlog. Until then, you can separate waste extra well so that your residual waste container fills up less quickly. You can also store garbage bags in the shed or storage room.
