The municipality will collect your garden tiles for free.
The Tile Service is starting again. The final rounds are in September and October. Take out your garden tiles and replace them with greenery. The municipality collects the tiles for free. That saves a lot of hassle. Greenery provides a cooler garden during hot days. Rainwater also drains more easily. The Tegelservice visits all parts of the city and participating is very easy.
A lot of stone in the city creates deep puddles after every shower and makes the city warmer on summer days. Green cools and absorbs water. The Tile Service helps Amsterdam residents to make the city greener.
There are various collection days in the city districts, an overview can be found on the municipality’s website.
This is how you participate
- Register your tiles at Green your garden with the tilingservice – Municipality of Amsterdam

Place the tiles at the agreed location. - Place the tiles in such a way that the truck with the grab can easily reach them. Do not place them near underground waste containers.
- The municipality collects them for free.
