Waardlanden is a socially responsible cleaning company. We work daily to help residents in the municipalities of Gorinchem, Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Molenlanden, and Vijfheerenlanden keep discarded products and materials available for reuse and recycling as effectively as possible. We do this by offering various options and services for separating waste and raw materials. Our priorities are sustainability and corporate social responsibility.
Towards a new waste and raw materials policy
"Together for a waste-free and clean municipality" is the title of the new waste and raw materials policy plan. The title indicates the central goal that Waardlanden and the municipalities intend to work towards in the coming years. The plan outlines the strategy and measures that should lead to increased and better separation of reusable waste (raw materials) and a reduction in residual waste. It also leads to a cleaner municipality.
To support the chosen strategy and measures, a scenario study was conducted, a catalogue of measures was drawn up, and a vision document for the recycling centers was drawn up.
- Scenario study for future collection systems in Waardlanden municipalities
- Possible measures for new waste and raw materials policy in Waardlanden municipalities
- Vision document, A different view of the recycling centers of Waardlanden
The municipal executive boards of the Waardlanden municipalities adopted the plan and other reports in early April 2021. The boards will submit the plan to the municipal councils.
What do residents think?
Residents were actively involved in the development of the new waste and raw materials policy. Their wishes, motivations, and experiences were assessed in a resident survey in the spring of 2020. This survey yielded valuable suggestions. We supplemented these suggestions with our own suggestions and potential measures, and presented them again in a second resident survey in early 2021.
