Residents of Mortsel must confirm their choice for GFT containers by October 4, 2026, as the diftar system will be implemented from January 1, 2027.

Starting January 1, 2027, GFT waste in Mortsel will be weighed according to the diftar system. To facilitate this transition, existing GFT containers will be equipped with a registration chip in November and December 2026.
Residents are requested to indicate their preference by October 4, 2026. This may involve choosing to keep their current GFT container or requesting a different container size.
It is crucial to explicitly confirm this choice, even if you wish to keep your current containers. GFT containers without a chip will no longer be emptied from January 1, 2027.
Confirmation can be done in two ways: via the website igean.mijncontainer.be, by logging in with the personal username and password from the earlier IGEAN letter, or by calling 03 375 32 77.
