Company waste separation tool

Published by:

Netherlands Chamber of Commerce, KVK

You have to separate your company waste. Which types of waste you have to separate depends on your situation.

After completing the Company waste separation tool, you will:

  • know which commercial waste you need to separate at your business
  • receive an overview of this waste
  1. Question :What is the total acreage of your business location?

    If you have an outside space, but the city council does not allow you to place waste containers on it, you do not need to take this space into account. Are you in a location with multiple businesses? For example a business centre, a station, or an event location? Is there a contract for collective waste collection, and are you not exempt? Then put as your reply ‘more than 100 m²’.

    Why is the acreage important?

    If you have a small company space, the room for placing waste containers is limited. The law takes this into account.

    Are you not sure about your surface area? Read the Frequently Asked Questions (in Dutch).

    Take into account all inside and outside space (in square metres). You can find the acreage (oppervlakte) on your rental or purchase agreement.
