You are welcome at the Ecopark with the Waardlanden environmental pass. Without a pass, you cannot visit the recycling centre. At the Ecopark we give as many goods and materials as possible a second chance. There is a special area at the Ecopark where you can neatly put away items that could be given a second chance. In the workshop, people who need a helping hand work under supervision to repair or make up as many goods as possible, such as furniture. Of course, you can take back your repaired items yourself for a small fee. We sell donated items in the regional thrift shops or in the webshop of The Companion.

You can separate disposable nappies in special nappy waste bags and hand them in for free at one of Waardlanden's environmental centres. Or even better: choose smart and save more with washable nappies. Better for the environment and your wallet.

Advantages of washable nappies

With washable nappies, your baby is potty-trained faster and suffers much less from nappy rash thanks to the natural materials. These modern nappies are very easy to use. Moreover, you avoid waste and save trips to the recycling centre. So washable nappies are better for the environment and your wallet. More information can be found at milieucentraal.nl/mazzelkontjes.

Hand in disposable nappies free of charge at the waste disposal site

You collect the used disposable nappies in a special waste bag for baby nappies, which you can pick up at environmental centres and in a number of other places in the municipalities of Gorinchem, Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Molenlanden and Vijfheerenlanden. Take the full bag to the recycling centre, where you can dispose of it free of charge in a special container. The semi-transparent nappy disposal bags may only contain used disposable nappies. So do not add (latex) gloves, flannels, pads, ointment pots, tubes or other materials. This is very harmful to the recycling process.

Locations waste bags for baby nappies

You can collect special waste bags for baby nappies at these locations. Check the opening hours of the various venues in advance.

Medical waste

The bin bags for nappies are not intended for incontinence material. Incontinence materials fall under medical waste in the Waardlanden municipalities. People with a medical indication who cannot reduce their residual waste due to medical waste may be eligible for compensation. They can contact the municipality for more information.

Why return disposable nappies separately?

If you throw disposable nappies in the residual waste, they end up in the incinerator. Disposable nappies that you hand in separately at the waste recycling centre are partly processed into raw material to make new products, such as plastic car parts. This type of processing has less impact on the environment than incineration in a waste-to-energy plant.

This is how we move together towards a clean environment and waste-free future. More videos and useful tips for reducing and separating waste can be found at waardlanden.nl/help-tips.

Do you want to get rid of your old bike, but it is too good for the scrap metal? With the "a second life for used bikes" project, your discarded bike will get a second life.

Take your bicycle to the recycling centre

You can send your old bicycle to the waste disposal site or thrift shop bring. 

Refurbishment

SitY Academy, Bewonersorganisatie Monnikenhof, De Gezel and Opnieuw & Co Leerdam repair discarded bicycles so that they are usable again and meet legal requirements. Then they make sure the bikes end up in a good place: with people on a small budget who cannot afford a new bike.

Work for people in vulnerable position

All workshops employ people with a vulnerable position on the labour market as bicycle mechanics. They work here in a safe environment. Under the guidance of a learning master, they develop into craftsmen.

Successful cooperation

The cycling project is a collaboration between SitY Academy, Monnikenhof residents' association, The Companion, municipality of Vijfheerenlanden, Again & Co Leerdam and Waardlanden. Since its launch in July 2021, the partners have made a great effort to make the "A second life for used bicycles" project a success.

Windows, mirrors, an old glass shower wall and other flat glass can be taken to one of our environmental centres bring.

There is a special container for flat glass at the environmental street where you can put it in. We will make sure it is recycled.

The designation flat glass is the counterpart of hollow glass, which is packaging glass. You can put packaged glass (empty bottles and jars) in a glass container in the neighbourhood or at the shopping centre. There are also glass containers at the environmental centres. Do not put packaging glass in the container for flat glass.

Old Christmas trees are not waste. They are recycled into compost and green gas. Also worden them shredded into bedding in stables.

Waardlanden handles Christmas tree collection for the municipalities of Gorinchem, Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Molenlanden and Vijfheerenlanden.

Styrofoam from packaging (eps) can be disposed of separately at one of our environmental centres. We make sure it is recycled. For example, large pieces of Styrofoam that protect electrical appliances from knocks during transport.

Contaminated polystyrene packaging, such as meat trays, belongs to the residual waste. You can also buy small pieces of Styrofoam at the residual waste do. Styrofoam never belongs to the pmd (plastic packaging, metal, tin and beverage containers).

With a fee on this collection service, the municipalities encourage you to sort your bulky waste and deliver it separately to the waste disposal site.
