Separating waste. What works and what doesn't for you?

The municipalities of Gorinchem, Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Molenlanden, and Vijfheerenlanden are collaborating with Waardlanden on the preparation of a new waste plan.

To achieve this, we want to better understand what helps residents in their daily practice: what goes well and what do residents find difficult when separating and disposing of waste?
