⭕ Doneerspots — pass your statiegeld on
Deposit cans locked inside closed bins get dug out — and the street pays for it. A doneerspot (ring, crate, ledge) is where you leave deposit packaging so someone can pick it up with dignity. Cities are piloting donation rings; the map of where they actually are starts here.

FAQ
How do I know if the deposit machine at my AH works?
Shoppers report it here with one tap: works / broken. A report counts for 24 hours — machines jam and get fixed daily, so older reports expire automatically.
Is this official Albert Heijn data?
No. FFCheck is independent and not affiliated with Albert Heijn or Ahold Delhaize. All statuses are crowd reports from visitors, not official outage data.
Which stores are listed?
Every Albert Heijn in the Netherlands — store locations come from OpenStreetMap (open data). Missing or moved? Reports still work: search the nearest match or check back after the weekly refresh.
What does it cost?
Nothing. No account, no app, no ads aimed at you. You can report anonymously.
What is a doneerspot?
A spot (ring, crate, ledge) where you leave deposit bottles and cans so someone else can return them — instead of binning them and having someone dig them out, with street litter as the result. Anyone can add a spot; the community confirms or retires them.
