The zone assigned to each address can be checked on MOHU Budapest’s District VII collection page: https://mohubudapest.hu/vii-keruleti-lomtalanitasi-korzetek
Items may only be put out after 6 pm
Tiszta7 warns that bulky waste may only be placed in public areas after 6 pm on the date assigned to the relevant address. Putting it out earlier may be treated as an offence for polluting public space.
Outside the designated collection dates, furniture, bulky items and other waste must not be left in a public area without a public-space use permit. This also applies when waste is placed in a container occupying public space. Tiszta7 describes unauthorised disposal as a public-cleanliness offence and adds that, depending on the type of waste, it may also constitute a criminal offence under waste-management law.
Public space does not end at the roadway. It includes parking spaces, the edge of the pavement and the area in front of a building’s street-facing façade, as well as parks, squares and playgrounds.
Anyone who needs to use public space temporarily during a move or renovation can apply for permission from the District VII municipality. Forms and details of the procedure are available at https://www.erzsebetvaros.hu/page/koezteruelet-hasznalat-iranti-kerelem.
If November is too long to wait
Furniture and other bulky waste that becomes unwanted during the year does not have to be left on the street. Budapest residents may use the city’s permanent household waste collection sites free of charge throughout the year, up to a specified quantity.
Conditions and the locations of the waste collection sites are listed on MOHU’s official website: https://mohu.hu/hu/hulladekudvarok
In brief, residents in Zone 1 may put out bulky waste after 6 pm on Friday, 20 November. The corresponding time for Zone 2 is after 6 pm on Saturday, 21 November. Residents should check their address on MOHU Budapest’s District VII page before placing anything outside.
