Spring is the time to get outside. We walk more, take our bikes or enjoy ourselves in the park. Unfortunately, we still find cans, plastic bags and other litter along the way. This can be done differently.
More and more residents are rolling up their sleeves and picking up litter along the way. Thanks to these litter pickers, our streets, parks and footpaths stay tidy. We are proud and happy about this.
Every piece of litter cleaned up counts
Litter is all the waste thrown away where it does not belong. Think of:
- cans on the verge
- candy wrappers on the pavement
- plastic in the park
- cigarette butts near benches
Many types of waste hardly ever disappear. Plastic, glass and cans decompose very slowly. It is a dirty sight, but also very harmful to animals and nature. By picking it up, you are directly helping to create a cleaner neighbourhood. Everything you pick up, no matter how small, makes a difference.
