Snoeiafval laten ophalen (Gemeente Amsterdam)

A separate Friday collection for garden prunings in three districts, booked by email before Thursday lunchtime.

Right for you if

  • A hedge cut back, in one of the three districts that offer it.
  • 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.
  • You need it gone today.
  • You live outside the area it serves.
  • You need it outside the months it runs.

Why use it

The only municipal waste service in this entire guide that is booked by email. Send it to the green collection address before 13:00 on Thursday, then put the prunings out between 21:00 on Thursday and 07:30 on Friday. Note that the deadline is 07:30 rather than the 07:00 that applies to bulky waste, which is the kind of half-hour difference that catches people who assume one rule covers everything. Nieuw-West, Noord and West only.

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.

Not documented yet. This operator has not published what happens to each kind of item, and we have not been able to establish it from anywhere else. That is the gap, stated rather than hidden. If you ask them, 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.

What happens to it

  • Collected by the council
  • Recycled

This describes the route the item takes, as the operator states it. We do not claim a recovery rate we have not seen evidence for.

What readers told us

Used them recently?

How long you waited, what they refused, whether anyone picked up the phone. Those are the three facts no website publishes and the ones the next reader needs.
