Together through the seasons: tips that suit the time of year
All year round, things change in and around the house. Each season calls for something different – from tidying up and gardening to preparing for the cold, wind, or holidays. This sometimes raises questions: what goes where, what do you do when, and how do you make things easier for yourself? With "Together through the seasons," we're here to help you at the right time. You'll find tips tailored to the time of year.

Everyone who helps out makes our region visibly cleaner. Find out here how you can volunteer as a litter picker or how to start a cleanup campaign.

Surveillance and enforcement
Our inspectors help prevent serious pollution. They sometimes encounter serious pollution, such as trash next to collection containers or dumped waste in public spaces. This is unsightly, creates a mess, attracts vermin, and can disrupt collection. Sometimes, a container with overflowing waste can't be emptied, causing problems for the entire neighborhood. Our inspectors do everything they can to prevent this. Do you have questions about waste or raw materials? Feel free to contact our inspectors. They're happy to help.
