The Avalex pass contains a chip that runs through the entire pass. If it has a corner chipped off or the pass is bent, it may not work anymore. This also applies if there is a hole in it.
Is your physical Avalex pass no longer working and do you only use it to go to the recycling center? Then activate the free digital pass in the Avalex App. Handy, because now you only have to take your phone with you when you go to the recycling center.
Residents who need an Avalex pass to open underground containers must still apply for an Avalex pass in the form of a card. This card costs €7.50.
