Every day, our Waste Heroes work extremely hard to keep the region clean, tidy and safe. Often in the background, but always indispensable. One of them is supervisor Kees. He is on the road every day to keep our region tidy and clean. In this video, Kees shows what his work entails and how it contributes to a clean and safe living environment.
Commitment to a clean neighbourhood
As a waste and resources policy supervisor, Kees deals with waste and items put next to collection containers. He takes immediate action when a report comes in. Assesses the situation and looks for clues to trace the owner of the waste. Then he makes sure that the waste is cleaned up quickly to keep the neighbourhood clean and tidy.
"The best part is when residents say we are doing a good job," Kees says. Litter next to containers creates a nuisance. It is not only dirty and messy, but also unsafe and attracts pests. That is why it is important to throw waste in the container - not next to it.
You are a Waste Hero not only during the Week of Waste Heroes, but throughout the year. That is why we put different colleagues in the spotlight throughout the year. Because behind every clean street and container are professionals like Kees. Curious about his working day? Watch the video below.
