Need a trash cart? If you\u2019re buying a newly built home or having a home built on Bonaire, there\u2019s one more practical matter to take care of besides getting the keys: arranging a trash cart for your household waste. This process raises questions for many new residents, especially because it works a little differently here than in the Netherlands. Below, we explain step by step how it works. <\/p>\n

Applying for a trash cart on Bonaire works differently than in the Netherlands. You do not apply directly through the waste collection company. Instead, this is arranged through WEB (Water- en Energiebedrijf Bonaire) when you register the water connection for your new home in your name. The waste collection fee is collected by WEB through your water bill. <\/p>\n

Has your garbage container on Bonaire been stolen or gone missing? Contact Selibon NV<\/a>, the local waste management organization, to request a new container. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/harbourtownbonaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Kliko-2.jpg” alt=”Trash cart or wheelie bin” title_text=”Trash cart or wheelie bin” show_in_lightbox=”on” admin_label=”Huis kopen Bonaire” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|auto|-8px|auto||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As a household, you receive your first 63-gallon (240 liter) garbage container free of charge. An additional container costs US$ 82.52 per quarter. If you live off-grid and are not connected to WEB\u2019s water supply network, you are not eligible for the free garbage container provided through WEB. In that case, you pay US$ 82.52 per quarter for your (first) container. <\/p>\n The rates for garbage containers and waste collection are likely to increase. The Executive Council of Bonaire (Bestuurscollege) has agreed to introduce rates that fully cover the costs of waste collection and processing for both households and businesses. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Waste collection on Bonaire is handled by one company: Selibon NV. The Public Entity Bonaire (OLB) has appointed Selibon as the island\u2019s official waste collection service, responsible for the collection, transportation and processing of household and commercial waste. In addition to trash carts, there are several recycling stations around the island, including in Hato, Rincon, Amboina and Tera K\u00f2r\u00e1. There are also collection points at supermarkets such as Van den Tweel and Zung Kong, where you can dispose of glass, plastic, cardboard and metal separately. <\/p>\n Contact Selibon<\/strong><\/p>\n Do you have any specific questions about applying for a trash cart? Please contact Selibon: <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Household waste on Bonaire is collected on fixed days. The collection day depends on the neighborhood or area where you live. For example, garbage is collected on Mondays in Sabadeco and Rincon, on Tuesdays in Belnem, Hato and Santa Barbara, on Wednesdays in Nikiboko, on Thursdays in Antriol and Lagoen Hill, and on Fridays in Noord Sali\u00f1a, Tera Kor\u00e1 and Nawati. <\/span><\/p>\n For the complete and up-to-date overview of collection days, check the waste collection calendar of the Public Entity Bonaire<\/a><\/span> (OLB). Here you can see which day household waste is collected in each neighborhood. You can also take your household waste directly to one of Selibon\u2019s waste collection locations. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Free-roaming donkeys on Bonaire can sometimes cause problems.
