Every day, our Waste Heroes work tirelessly to keep the region clean, tidy, and safe. Often in the background, but always indispensable. One of them is Supervisor Kees. He's out and about every day to keep our region tidy and clean. In this video, Kees shows what his job entails and how it contributes to a clean and safe living environment.
Commitment to a clean neighborhood
As a waste and resources policy supervisor, Kees handles waste and items placed next to collection containers. He takes immediate action when a report is received. He assesses the situation and looks for clues to identify the owner of the waste. He then ensures the waste is cleaned up quickly, keeping the neighborhood clean and tidy.
"The best part is when residents say we're doing a good job," says Kees. Trash next to the containers is a nuisance. It's not only dirty and messy, but also unsafe and attracts vermin. That's why it's important to throw trash in the container—not next to it.
You're not just a Waste Hero during Waste Hero Week, but all year round. That's why we're highlighting our various colleagues throughout the year. Because behind every clean street and container are professionals like Kees. Curious about his workday? Watch the video below.
