With the "Lekker Ruim" (Clean and Tidy) campaign, we want to raise awareness of the need for less waste and even better waste separation. Together with the municipalities, we encourage residents to reduce waste and separate waste and essential raw materials even more effectively at home. This way, less residual waste is left to be incinerated and as many raw materials as possible can be recycled.
We know that separating waste isn't always easy. What goes where? And what do you do with waste you don't have every day? That's why we make it as clear and practical as possible.
