About Almere

In Almere, in the Netherlands, Envac operates and maintains one of the Netherlands’ most comprehensive automated waste collection systems under an O&M contract. This means we are responsible not only for daily operation and routine maintenance, but also for scheduled multi‑year replacement of key components. The result is predictable lifecycle costs and consistently high performance over time.

A complete three fraction Envac 500 system

The Almere installation is a three‑fraction Envac 500 system serving a large number of residential and commercial users. The system includes:

  • 3 fractions collected: general waste + PMD, GFT, paper
  • 2 cyclones with integrated waste compactors
  • 1 F‑container for efficient storage and truck loading
  • 8 sectioning valves enabling flexible operation and future extensions
  • Over 200 inlets distributed over 80 inlet locations

Integrated Litterbin 300 solution

In addition, a Litterbin 300 system is connected to the same infrastructure, creating a complete solution for both household waste and public area litter. This part of the installation consists of:

  • 80+ self‑emptying litterbins in public spaces

Together, the systems provide a cleaner urban environment with fewer collection trucks, less noise and lower emissions, both in residential areas and in public realms.

O&M – a true lifecycle partnership

In Almere, the client has chosen an O&M model where Envac assumes total responsibility for

  • Continuous monitoring and optimisation of system performance
  • Preventive and corrective maintenance
  • Planned multi‑year replacement of critical components to extend system life
  • Proactive upgrades and adjustments as the area develops

This gives the city a long‑term, future‑proof solution where availability, energy efficiency and capacity are secured over the full lifecycle – without unexpected cost peaks

Built for future expansion

The system in Almere is continuously expanding with new inlet locations as the city grows. Its modular design, combined with Envac’s O&M commitment, makes it easy to connect new districts and users while operations and maintenance are handled by an experienced Envac O&M team.
