Just moved to Almere - basic question on waste disposal

Hello,

After 2 years staying in Amsterdam, we decided to move to Almere for a more long-term stay, more specifically in the Almere Parkwijk area.

Waste disposal is a little different as there are specific collection date on different kinds of waste categories (and the city provides the containers as well). I know the schedule of waste collection, which I thought was all fine, but I'm surprised I never see any of my neighbors taking out their waste for collection. Actually, I never see any of my neighbors at all in my first week of stay. This leads me to the following questions:

1. Where do you typically put your waste for collection (Just in front of your house?)
2.  What time is the collection? We know the schedule (what days, which waste category) but none of the sites we looked into specify a collection "time". I presume we cannot just put our garbage at the start of the day, as it is unhygienic for the neighborhood.

I tried calling the Almere city service hotline for more information but I could not get past the Dutch voice prompt Learning dutch is definitely the next step, but for now, I am hoping some people who are living in the city of Almere would know the answer to these questions. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
