Unloading Permit:
An unloading permit is required for the delivery of larger quantities of combustible construction site waste, household waste or bulky waste. A larger quantity is one that can no longer be transported in the normal trunk of a passenger vehicle (car) or with a trailer. And this is how you obtain an unloading permit: Due to Corona protections, you will only receive the unloading permit by email. Please include the waste and contact information for the person delivering the waste/who generated the waste in an email.
