Back to the overview

King's Day is the perfect time to hunt for gems at flea markets, or to clear out the attic and give things a second life. It's good for both your home and the environment. Because what you no longer need might be just what someone else is looking for.

Pass on stuff

Have you been cleaning up and collecting things you no longer use? Put them up for sale at the flea market on King's Day. This way, you'll give them a second chance and make someone else happy. Do you have any leftovers? Take them to the thrift store or donate them. There's no need to throw them away if they're still in good condition.

Buy second hand

The flea market is the perfect place to find something special at a low price. From children's toys and books to kitchenware and vintage clothing. Secondhand shopping is not only sustainable but also fun and surprising.

Smart partying = less waste

A little preparation makes all the difference. Bring a sturdy bag when you're out and about, and use a reusable cup or bottle at the party. Choose snacks without unnecessary packaging, or pack a lunchbox yourself. These are small habits that can have a big impact.

Set a good example

Children are watching. By buying, selling, and managing waste sustainably, you demonstrate that a party can be done responsibly. And maybe next year they'll even go out with a blanket full of toys that will bring joy to someone else.

Together we make King's Day greener

Whether you're browsing the market in the morning or heading to an orange party with friends in the afternoon, you make a difference. Celebrate, don't leave a mess behind, and think about tomorrow. Together, we'll make King's Day not just an orange celebration, but a greener one as well.
