Waardlanden handles waste and raw materials collection for the municipalities of Gorinchem, Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Molenlanden and Vijfheerenlanden.
For you and more than 64,000 other households, our 110 or so employees make it as easy as possible for you to separate your waste into recyclable raw materials. We transport collected raw materials to specialised companies that make them suitable for reuse in various production processes and applications. Residual waste goes to modern incinerators that generate energy. At Waardlanden, we have modern trucks, sweepers and passenger cars to collect your waste, clean roads, grit against slipperiness and control weeds.
Efficient
By taking cleaning out of the municipalities' hands and working across municipal borders, collection, sweeping and gritting routes have been optimised. The trolleys go into the region in a targeted way, working efficiently and effectively. Many common services are used by the entire region.
High quality of service
Our primary task is to take care of cleaning and waste disposal for municipalities. In doing so, we focus on providing residents with good service and information. That quality comes first is reflected in our wide range of services. For example, extra service vans drive around the region every day so that we can always respond flexibly, our environmental coaches are present at events for help and tips on less waste and better separation, and you can request a new or extra raw materials container.
Implementation tasks
We look after the municipalities' implementation tasks for waste cleaning, collection and disposal. This task includes the day-to-day maintenance and management of buildings, waste recycling centres and collection equipment, as well as looking after the processing of household waste. At the request of one or more municipalities, we also take care of the waste removal or cleaning, such as littering, smoothing and weed control. Finally, we are tasked with commercial waste collection and disposal.
