And how do you contribute to a smooth collection of waste and raw materials? We are happy to help. We do so with:

This sometimes raises questions: what to do where, what to do when, and how to make it easy on yourself? With 'Together through the seasons', we help you at the right time. You will find tips to suit the time of year.

          Monitoring and enforcement

          Our supervisors help prevent serious pollution. They sometimes come across serious pollution, such as rubbish next to collection containers or dumped waste in public areas. This is a dirty sight, creates litter, attracts pests and can disrupt collection. A container with sidelines can sometimes not be emptied, causing trouble for the whole neighbourhood. Our supervisors do all they can to stop that from happening. Do you have questions about waste or raw materials? Feel free to speak to our supervisors. They are happy to think along with you.
