Stuff packed, plants at the neighbours' and ready to go. But is your home waste well organised? With a few smart steps, you can avoid full bins, unpleasant smells and angry neighbours. So you can leave with peace of mind and come home refreshed.
Still cleaning up?
Holiday fun is the perfect time to tidy up at home too. Take items you no longer need to the recycling centre, the Kringloopplein or a charity shop. This way you can start the holidays fresh and sustainable, because disposing before the holidays means less clutter after the holidays.
Do not leave full waste bins behind
Especially in summer, waste left behind can quickly become smelly. Before leaving, empty all bins in the house, especially the kitchen and garden waste bin. Do not put rubbish bags in the hallway or shed either. This will help you avoid smells or pests when you get home.
Use the right bags
Always put waste in the right bag:
pmd and residual waste: transparent bags and tightly sealed.
GFT: special compostable bags with the OK compost logo or the Kiemplant logo
Do not put loose bags next to the container, we will not take them.
Have your container emptied on time
Check the Waardlanden app or at landlords.co.uk When your container will be emptied. Place your container outside before 7.30am on the collection day and remove it from the street the same day to avoid inconvenience. Please note: do not put it out earlier than necessary.
Ask someone to help
Not at home on collection day? Ask a neighbour or acquaintance to take out your container and - just as importantly - to collect it again. A small effort, great convenience.
That way you leave without any worries and come home refreshed. Happy summer!
