Quick facts

Guide in one answer

English-speaking customers can order a container without knowing Czech waste category names. Kontejnerovka.cz can start from a plain description, exact address, amount, access and a photo.

Sort before mixing

Clean rubble, soil, wood, green waste and mixed waste are not the same. Mixing can change the quote or make disposal harder.

Photos are useful

A photo of the pile, access and placement spot makes the quote faster and reduces back-and-forth. A map pin is also useful if the address is hard to describe in Czech.

Street placement

If the container stands on a street, pavement or public area, local rules may apply before choosing the date. In Czech this is often connected with the word zábor.

Expat glossary

Useful Czech waste terms in plain English

Suť means rubble from renovation or demolition. Zemina means soil or excavation material. Směsný stavební odpad means mixed construction waste. Recyklát means recycled aggregate, often used for base layers or access roads. Zábor means temporary occupation of public space, often relevant for a container on a street or pavement. Skládka means landfill or disposal site. IČO is Czech company ID, DIČ is a tax or VAT ID and DPH means VAT.

Czech address details that help

For Prague, send the city district if you know it, for example Prague 5, Prague 6, Prague 13 or Prague 17. Outside Prague, send the town or village and the exact address when possible. A map pin is fine if the Czech address is hard to write.

Prague-West is not Prague 5

Prague-West and Prague-East are Central Bohemian districts around Prague, not Prague city districts. Prague 5, Prague 6, Prague 13 and Prague 17 are city districts inside Prague. If you are unsure, the exact address or map pin is enough.

Private land vs public street

A private yard, driveway or construction site is usually simpler. A street, pavement or other public area may depend on municipality or Prague district rules. We confirm timing after the placement spot is clear.

Skip hire, dumpster rental, container hire

English speakers may search for skip hire or dumpster rental. In Czech practice, the useful request is simply the address, material, amount, access and where the container can stand.
