Rowhouses and apartment blocks must have one or more waste bins for combustible waste. During the summer, i.e., from May to the end of September, the bins must be emptied at intervals of 1–2 weeks and at other times at intervals of 1–4 weeks. An agreement of emptying is made with a waste transport company. The waste transport company invoices the transport and treatment fee of the combustible waste.
