Why the Lodewijkstraat Recycling Center is Temporarily Closing and What It Means for You

From December 1, 2025, the Lodewijkstraat recycling center in Eindhoven will close for a major renovation. The site is being transformed into a more modern waste station with greater capacity and improved infrastructure.

That sounds great — but during the renovation, anyone wanting to drop off bulky waste, construction debris, or garden waste may face longer waits and more crowding at the alternative recycling center in Acht. This location is temporarily open longer, but it suddenly has to accommodate many more visitors.

What does this mean for you?

• Dropping off bulky waste, furniture, or construction debris yourself may take longer.

• Long lines are especially expected on weekends and in the afternoons.

• Short trips to the recycling center will take more time.

An alternative: let Stortrijders pick up and dispose of the waste for you. We save you every trip to the recycling center and prevent hours of waiting with a trailer or van in traffic. With our bulky waste service, home clearances, and waste disposal solutions, you’re done quickly — without stress or waiting time.
