The Waardlanden Implementation Organization is not a commercial entity, but a partnership between the municipalities of Gorinchem, Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Molenlanden, and Vijfheerenlanden. This joint arrangement handles waste collection for and on behalf of the four municipalities.
Waste collection and processing tasks have been formally transferred to Waardlanden. Waardlanden carries out these tasks based on the established waste regulations and municipal policies of the participating municipalities. The Waardlanden board is made up of an alderman from each of the four municipalities: Alderman Mark de Boer, Alderman Ton van Maanen, Alderman Arco Bikker (chairman), and Alderman Jan Nederveen.

Business operations organization
De Joint Arrangements Act (Wgr) is the primary basis for cooperation between municipalities, provinces, and water boards. The operational management organization is a flexible form of cooperation with a single board. The board is responsible for day-to-day operations, under the supervision of the municipalities. The operational management organization can only be established through so-called municipal executive regulations. This automatically limits cooperation to implementation or operational management, the statutory responsibilities of that executive board.
