A particularly creative project in Molenlanden municipality. Pupils from four primary schools in the neighbourhood are giving litter bins a new look. Something that not only makes the neighbourhood more beautiful, but also cleaner! The municipality and Waardlanden are working together with Cornelissen advertising on this special project in which art is used for a cleaner environment.
In 2024, Waardlanden conducted a survey on litter in the municipality of Molenlanden. This showed that it is important to have enough litter bins that are clean and whole. Unfortunately, this is sometimes lacking, which causes more litter. The "Pimp your Trashcan" project offers a solution by pimping up the bins and thereby making them more attractive. Through the brightly coloured bins, we encourage residents to throw their rubbish in the bins.
The makeover of dustbins: together with the neighbourhood
Litter bins in Molenlanden are transformed into true works of art. Pupils from the Rehoboth school from Groot-Ammers, Bredeschool Lingewaard from Arkel, De Schakel from Nieuw-Lekkerland, Chr. Basisschool EbenHaezer from Nieuwpoort and CBS De Bron from Molenaarsgraaf made creative design drawings for the new dustbins. These designs were turned into beautiful works of art by graffiti artists and are expertly sprayed on the bins. The goal? Bins that not only stand out, but are also a treat to use! Because throwing your rubbish on the street? That really is out of date.
A party to throw away waste
On Tuesday 15 October, the first dustbin at Kleyburgplein in Nieuw-Lekkerland will be officially unveiled at 10am. Be surprised by the creative wastebaskets and still come to the unveiling on 15 October.
