Grof afval op afspraak (Gemeente Amsterdam)

The booked half of Amsterdam's bulky collection, covering Centrum, Watergraafsmeer and Weesp. Putting material out here without an appointment is a 110 euro fine rather than an early collection.

Right for you if

  • You live in Centrum, Watergraafsmeer or Weesp and have something bulky to move.
  • It has to cost nothing.
  • You cannot move it yourself. They come and collect.

Look elsewhere if

  • It is one small thing you could drop off yourself.
  • It is business waste.
  • You need it gone today.
  • It is more than a household quantity.
  • It is construction or demolition waste.
  • It is paint, solvent, gas bottles or anything else hazardous.

Something wrong here?

Why use it

It is a separate record because it has a different failure mode from the fixed-day service. On a fixed-day street an unbooked pile is simply waiting for the day; here it is fly-tipping and priced accordingly, 110 euros for a resident and 550 for a business. Book on the seven-step form or by phone, then put the material out from 21:00 the evening before and no later than 07:00. Two cubic metres per appointment. Confirm your own address in the Afvalwijzer rather than assuming your district, because the boundaries do not follow the district names neatly.

How it works

How you use it They come and collect it.
Cost No charge is published for household collection: not on the city's grofvuil page, not in the booking form, not in the Uitvoeringsbesluit Afvalstoffenverordening, and not in the complete 2026 tariff schedule, which is where a charge would have to appear to be levied. We report that absence rather than calling it free, which is a word the city attaches only to the Recyclepunt. The annual afvalstoffenheffing is 352 euros for one person and 469 for a household.

Where your things go

A named destination is worth more than a stated intention, and both are worth more than silence. This is the row to read before you book: if your item's row is empty, ask them on the phone and tell us what they say.

Does it actually work

The part no company website tells you. Some of this comes from our checks, some from readers who used the service, and where nobody has told us yet, it says so.

  • Booking

    Their pages

    Appointment booked through the Afvalwijzer, the per-address waste lookup.

  • Typical wait

    Needs reports

    Not established

    No lead time is published anywhere in the page bodies. It sits behind the Afvalwijzer booking flow. Running the Afvalwijzer for a Centrum, Watergraafsmeer or Weesp address would show the first available date.

  • Do they answer

    Needs reports

    Not established

    The pilot page gives [email protected] and a boat number (06 1895 2186), but both are scoped to the 9 Straatjes pilot rather than the appointment service generally. Confirm whether 14 020 books the appointment service.

  • Restrictions

    Their pages

    In parts of Centrum, collection is by small trucks and electric cargo bikes rather than a grabber truck, which is why an appointment is required.
