Rent a roll container on subscription: 5 providers compared
If you want to rent a roll container on subscription for your paper and archive, the first question is not how much it costs but what kind of container you actually need. A cheap waste container for waste paper is something very different from a sealed container that is destroyed to DIN 66399 with a certificate. In this overview we compare 5 providers, so you pick the one that fits your situation.
Two products get mixed up online. On one side stand the national waste renters that place a roll container for your residual waste, cardboard or waste paper at a low monthly rate. On the other side stand the parties that supply a locked container for confidential documents, with secure destruction and a certificate as proof. Both are called a "roll container on subscription", but they solve a different problem. Anyone who just wants to get rid of clean paper is cheaper off with the first group. Anyone who wants data demonstrably destroyed needs the second group.
The 5 providers in a table
Below you see the five providers side by side on the points that really matter. Service area, what kind of container you get, whether destruction is to DIN 66399 with a certificate, the contract form and the starting price. Prices vary by size and frequency, so read them as an indication and not as a quote.
| Provider | Service area | Container & sealing | DIN 66399 + certificate | Contract / notice period | Price from |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rolbakkie | Nationwide | 120 to 1100L, open waste container | No, no DIN, no certificate | Monthly or 1/2 years, € 59 collection cost on cancellation | 240L approx. € 10/mo (excl. VAT) |
| Bedrijfsafval.nl | Nationwide | Various waste containers | Mentioned, DIN or certificate not explicitly stated | Monthly cancellable or 1/2/3 years | from approx. € 8.96/mo (excl. VAT) |
| MKB-afval | Nationwide | 240L or 500L metal container with lock and intake slot | Yes, DIN 66399 and certificate, destruction via partner Reisswolf | Fixed monthly rate, up to 3 years (12% discount) | Fixed monthly rate on request |
| Rolcontainerhuren.nl | Nationwide | 240L plastic container with sturdy lock | On request, also supervised mobile shredder | On request | approx. € 26 to € 55/mo (incl. VAT) |
| DeSnipperaar (on subscription) | Amsterdam region, within 20 km | Sealed 240L roll container, free on loan | Yes, DIN 66399 P-5, certificate at every emptying, in-house | Flex min. 3 months, then cancellable monthly | from € 29.95/mo (excl. VAT) |
The pattern is clear. The national waste renters are cheaper per month, but most provide no demonstrably secure destruction. The parties that do work to DIN 66399 with a certificate cost more, because it is a different product. Secure destruction is more expensive than emptying a bin of paper. Below we give a short and honest note on each provider.
1. Rolbakkie
Rolbakkie rents out business waste containers nationwide in sizes from 120 to 1100 litres, with all-in prices that include placing, removal, processing and rental. A 240L container starts around 10 euro per month excluding VAT, which is sharp. You can rent monthly or per 1 or 2 years, with a discount for a longer term and 59 euro collection costs if you cancel. Archive destruction appears as a service on the site, but no DIN 66399 and no certificate of destruction are mentioned. At its core the container is therefore a waste bin for paper and cardboard among other things, not a secure destruction solution.
Fits: businesses that mainly want to dispose of clean waste paper or residual waste cheaply and need no proof of secure destruction. How this compares to a sealed solution is in DeSnipperaar vs Rolbakkie.
2. Bedrijfsafval.nl
Bedrijfsafval.nl belongs to the Milieu Service Groep and rents out waste containers nationwide for residual waste, paper and cardboard, glass, swill and PMD. The all-in rates start low, around 8.96 euro per month, and rise with size. You can rent monthly cancellable or choose 1, 2 or 3 years with a discount. Reliable archive destruction is listed as a service, but the page does not explicitly mention DIN 66399 and the certificate of destruction. For general business waste this is a broad and affordable party. For demonstrably secure destruction you check the terms in advance.
Fits: businesses with several waste volumes that want to place everything with one national party. The comparison on confidential documents is in DeSnipperaar vs Bedrijfsafval.nl.
3. MKB-afval
Of these five, MKB-afval is the most comparable party, because it does offer real archive destruction. You get a locked metal container of 240 or 500 litres with a safety lock and intake slot, placed nationwide. Destruction is to DIN 66399 and you receive an official certificate of destruction. Important for an honest picture is that destruction is outsourced to partner Reisswolf and therefore does not take place in-house. There is a fixed monthly rate with no hidden costs, with contracts up to 3 years and a 12% discount on the longest term. MKB-afval also rents general waste containers.
Fits: businesses across the Netherlands that want a certified container and do not mind destruction via an external partner. The full comparison is in DeSnipperaar vs MKB-afval.
4. Rolcontainerhuren.nl
Rolcontainerhuren.nl rents out a 240L plastic archive destruction container with a sturdy lock for confidential documents nationwide, at sharp prices that roughly range between 26 and 55 euro including VAT. Alongside the container this party also offers supervised mobile paper destruction with a mobile shredder that processes up to about 2,000 kilos per hour. That shredder drives to your location, which is a different approach from off-site destruction. The positioning revolves mainly around price and national coverage. For the container variant you best check the DIN level and the certificate in advance.
Fits: businesses that want to choose between a container and on-site destruction with a mobile shredder. The difference with sealed pickup and off-site destruction is in DeSnipperaar vs Rolcontainerhuren.nl.
5. DeSnipperaar (on subscription)
DeSnipperaar supplies a sealed 240L roll container on subscription, free on loan and with no rental cost. The container is collected periodically and destroyed off-site in-house, so without a middle party, usually within 24 hours and to DIN 66399 P-5. At every emptying you receive a certificate of destruction. You choose the frequency, from once every 4 weeks to weekly. Prices start at 29.95 euro per month on Fixed (12 months) and 34.95 euro per month on Flex, excluding VAT. Flex runs for a minimum of 3 months and is then cancellable monthly, so with no multi-year lock-in.
Honest about the limits. DeSnipperaar works only in the Amsterdam region, within 20 kilometres of the branch, while the other four supply nationwide. And DeSnipperaar does only secure paper, archive and data carrier destruction, so no residual waste, glass, PMD or organic waste. If you are looking for a bin for mixed business waste, a national waste renter is a better and cheaper fit. If you want demonstrably secure destruction within the region with a certificate at every emptying, this is the fitting product. The background is on the page about archive destruction on subscription.
Fits: businesses and private individuals in the Amsterdam region who want confidential paper destroyed structurally and demonstrably, in-house and with proof.
How do you choose?
The choice breaks down into a few clear questions. Answer them in order and the right provider follows on its own.
- Is the paper confidential? If it contains personal data or business-sensitive content, choose a provider with DIN 66399 and a certificate. If it is clean paper without data, an ordinary waste container is enough and you are cheaper off.
- Do you need a certificate? For GDPR you want to be able to demonstrate that data was securely destroyed. Then ask whether you get a certificate at every emptying and not only on request.
- Where are you located? Outside the Amsterdam region you choose a national party. Within 20 km of Amsterdam, DeSnipperaar is an option with in-house destruction.
- Do you want several waste volumes? If you also need residual waste, glass or PMD, a broad waste renter is handier. DeSnipperaar deliberately does only secure destruction.
- How long do you want to be tied in? Watch the notice period and the collection costs. A monthly contract or a short minimum term gives the most freedom.
If you are unsure between one-off and a subscription, weigh how often you supply something. After two single jobs a subscription is nearly always cheaper than repeatedly using a single collection service.

Can I rent a roll container on subscription for confidential paper?
Yes. Several providers rent out a roll container on subscription. But watch the difference. An ordinary waste container for waste paper is not the same as a sealed container that is destroyed to DIN 66399 with a certificate. For confidential documents you choose a provider that offers that certainty.
What is the difference between a waste container and a sealed roll container?
A waste container is an open bin for waste paper that goes to a regular processor. A sealed roll container is locked with a lock or seal and an intake slot, goes to secure destruction to DIN 66399 and produces a certificate of destruction. Only that second route proves that data was securely destroyed.
Do I get a certificate of destruction at every emptying?
That varies per provider. At DeSnipperaar you receive a certificate of destruction at every emptying. General waste renters often provide no certificate, even though archive destruction appears on their site. Ask in advance if you need the proof for GDPR.
What does a roll container on subscription cost at DeSnipperaar?
A sealed 240L roll container on subscription costs from € 29.95 per month (Fixed, 12 months, excluding 21% VAT) or from € 34.95 per month on Flex. The container is on free loan, with no rental cost. Higher frequencies cost more. A certificate is included at every emptying.
Can I cancel a subscription?
At DeSnipperaar, Flex runs for a minimum of 3 months and is then cancellable monthly, with no multi-year lock-in. General waste renters often work with a monthly contract or a contract of 1 to 3 years, with collection costs on cancellation. So read the terms carefully.
