Note: change in paper collection due to Thanksgiving Day

Tuesday evening 4 November we will collect paper and cardboard in Hardinxveld-Giessendam. This is because Wednesday 5 November is Thanksgiving Day. For years, paper and cardboard have been collected in the evening with the help of church volunteers. Therefore, the paper collection will be moved to Tuesday evening 4 November.

Only paper collection will shift. Collection of other waste and raw materials during the day will continue as usual.
