Tegeltaxi
The Tegeltaxi is a lorry owned by the City of Leeuwarden that comes twice a year to collect tiles in your street. You must register the tiles with the local authority in advance. The Tegeltaxi only collects tiles that are replaced by plants, grass or other greenery.

Need planting inspiration?
The website Groen Leeft in Leeuwarden (opens in new tab) offers inspiration for planting greenery for wet, dry, sunny and shady gardens.
Why does the City of Leeuwarden have a Tegeltaxi?
Two-thirds of the local authority’s land area is privately owned by residents and entrepreneurs. Climate change will result in more periods of heat, drought and heavy rainfall. Green gardens and grounds can withstand this better than paving. That is why the local authority is using the Tegeltaxi to help people who want to green their surroundings. A green environment makes living, working and recreation in our district more pleasant for people and animals. Because it also looks good, it contributes to a healthy and biodiverse environment, combats heat stress and drains rainwater during rainstorms and retains it better during droughts.
