Byewaste is a Dutch platform that helps households give a second life to items they no longer need. Through a simple app, users can schedule free pick-ups for clothing, textiles, books, toys, electronics, and more. Collected items are sorted and sent to trusted local partners for reuse, donation, repair, upcycling, or recycling. Nothing is sent to landfill or incineration.
Founded in 2019, Byewaste started with pilot programs in cities like Capelle aan den IJssel and Rotterdam. The platform has since grown its impact by making it easier for individuals and communities to reduce waste in a responsible and convenient way.
Byewaste also creates social value by offering job opportunities to people with limited access to the labor market. With a strong focus on circularity, community, and ease of use, Byewaste supports a cleaner and more sustainable future.
