De Lokatie: kringloopbedrijf en gratis ophaalservice

A work-integration foundation with three Amsterdam shops that collects donations free, in the east and north of the city.

Right for you if

  • Furniture and household things still worth using, in the east or north.
  • It has to cost nothing.
  • You cannot move it yourself. They come and collect.
  • You can get it there under your own steam.
  • You would rather it was used again than buried.

Look elsewhere if

  • It is broken, dirty or missing parts.
  • You need it gone today.
  • You live outside the area it serves.

Verification

Checked against a published source

That means we read a published source and it said this. It does not mean we watched them do it, or followed the material afterwards, that is a separate, deeper check this has not been through. How we check →

Why use it

Free collection with a genuinely useful refusal list, which is more than most donation services publish. They will not take waterbeds, fridges that are not CFC-free, sunbeds, surfboards, skis, floor coverings, construction board, three-section wall units, scrap metal, or mattresses unless they are as new. Defective small electricals are accepted if you flag them as such. The service area is the constraint: Oost and Watergraafsmeer, Zeeburg, Noord, plus Ouder-Amstel and Diemen. Not Centrum, West, Zuid, Nieuw-West or Zuidoost.

Good for

  • furniture
  • clothes
  • textiles
  • other items

Where your things go

A named destination is worth more than a stated intention, and both are worth more than silence. This is the row to read before you book: if your item's row is empty, ask them on the phone and tell us what they say.

Not documented yet. This operator has not published what happens to each kind of item, and we have not been able to establish it from anywhere else. That is the gap, stated rather than hidden. If you ask them, tell us what they say.

Does it actually work

The part no company website tells you. Some of this comes from our checks, some from readers who used the service, and where nobody has told us yet, it says so.

What happens to it

  • Donated to an organisation that will use it
  • Put back into use

This describes the route the item takes, as the operator states it. We do not claim a recovery rate we have not seen evidence for.

What readers told us

Used them recently?

How long you waited, what they refused, whether anyone picked up the phone. Those are the three facts no website publishes and the ones the next reader needs.
