Exchanging containers for a different size
The green, gray, and blue containers are available in two sizes: a large container with a capacity of 240 liters and a small container with a capacity of 140 liters. Would you like to exchange a container for a different size? The cost is €70.00 per container, each time. You can only exchange the container free of charge once at your new address within six weeks of moving into your home. If you live with someone else, you cannot exchange the container free of charge. Exchanging a gray container from a large (240 liters) to a small (140 liters) is always free. This allows you to choose the container size that best suits your household.
Explanation of price
Were you living alone on January 1, 2026? Then you pay the price for a one-person-household for the whole year. Did you live with more people? Then you pay the price for a multi-person-household for the whole year. Are you coming to live in Veldhoven later in the year? Then the date on which you become tax liable applies.
Does the composition of your household change during the year? Then the price remains the same. It will not become lower or higher afterwards.
Moving house
- If you remain living in Veldhoven: the waste collection tax will remain unchanged, unless you start lodging with someone who is already paying the waste collection tax. In that case, the amount of tax will be reduced for the months that remain.
- If you move to another municipality: the money for the months that you will no longer be living in Veldhoven will be refunded to you or settled automatically.

Divorce/end of relationship
The municipal tax demand is always issued in the name of one person. This is the person who is liable to pay the municipal taxes. If your relationship ends and the person liable to pay moves to a different address, he/she will take this liability to pay with them to their new address. The partner who is left behind then becomes liable to pay the municipal taxes for the old address. He/she will receive a demand to pay the municipal taxes for the remaining months of that year, which will be issued in his/her own name.
