About these tools
Town Tools builds free, public tools for Kecskemét and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
From Town Tools. For the current version, visit https://www.towntools.org/kecskemet-great-plain-and-north-hu/waste-calendar
Open the group of neighbourhoods you live in to see what goes out next. Household mixed waste (kommunális) is not on this calendar — that one runs street by street, Monday to Friday, and DTkH's street list is linked at the foot of the page.
Monday round. The 2026 calendar names Petőfiváros, Alsószéktó, Szeleifalu, Hetényegyháza, Úrihegy and Katonatelep in the green-waste row and adds Hetény-Külső/Belsőnyír and Ballószög tanya in the packaging row; on the 2025 calendar both of those had the Monday green round too. If your green bags are left standing, tell DTkH on +36 1 776 7777.

January's two green-waste rounds take Christmas trees and nothing else, and only trees stripped of every decoration.
Setting out

Green waste: leaves, grass cuttings and weeds in bags; twigs and branches bundled, max 1 m long and 5 cm thick.

Bulky waste (lomtalanítás): twice a year per property, collected from the door by appointment — call +36 1 776 7777 and choose menu option 2.

Holidays
Kecskemét city hall says DTkH collects household mixed waste on weekday public holidays too. The packaging and green rounds keep the dates printed on the 2026 calendar — which includes Friday 25 December. The dates here run to the end of 2026; DTkH publishes the next year's calendar on its Kecskemét page.
Before you rely on this
This calendar is copied from the published collection calendar for this town for the year. A public holiday can push a collection to a different day, and the published calendar is always the last word — the links below are the ones to check.
