The timing and method of collection depend on your location. You can find more information and the waste collection calendar on the <a href="https://ivago.be">IVAGO</a> website. There is also a very useful application called ‘<a href="https://www.recycleapp.be/intro">Recycle!</a>’.</p><p>Waste categories:</p><ul><li><strong>Organic waste (GFT)</strong>: Fruit and vegetable scraps, food leftovers (including meat and fish), bread, eggshells, coffee grounds, plants, grass, small garden clippings, and compostable bags (with the OK Compost logo) are collected in a green container.</li><li><strong>Residual waste (restafval)</strong>: Collected in green IVAGO bags (urban areas) or grey containers (more rural areas), weekly or biweekly.
