Working together on reuse

With this service at the Kringloopplein, we prevent still usable goods from being disposed of as waste and save raw materials needed to make new products. The Kringloopplein is a collaboration of Waardlanden, GAiN Kringloopwinkel, Jij bent in Beeld (from Philadelphia), Repaircafé Nieuw-Lekkerland (from Huis van de Waard) and Vluchtelingenwerk. Together, we give discarded goods and materials a second life. And we give even more residents the opportunity to participate in society. Returned goods that turn out not to be useful are dismantled, separated and taken away for recycling wherever possible.

Environmental street

Bring your discarded goods and materials to the waste disposal site at the Ecopark. One of our staff will welcome you at the entrance. Together we will examine your cargo and advise you on the best route across the site. We will also tell you which goods and materials can be reused or repaired and which you can dispose of at the waste disposal site.

What you can bring away here

• Waste
  Are broken items beyond repair or use? Or do you have items that do not belong or fit in the container? Then you can bring these to the environmental centre as often as you like using your environmental pass.
• Small chemical waste (kca)
  Small chemical waste (MSW) is waste containing substances that are hazardous to health and the environment. This includes chemicals that are toxic, flammable or otherwise harmful.

What you can't take away from here

• Soil and sand
  • Small amounts of potting and garden soil can be safely disposed of with the kitchen and garden waste.
  • For larger quantities of sand, soil and (garden) earth, there are special companies that take these materials, inspect and purify them for reuse.

Reuse

At the Ecopark, we give as many goods and materials as possible a second chance. At the waste disposal area, there is a special area where you can neatly put your things that could get a 2nd 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.

Sustainable building materials on offer

At 2nd Chance Building Materials you can buy sustainable building materials that you want to give a second life. Check out 2e Kans Bouwmaterialen's webshop for the current range of circular building materials. You can also drop off your reusable building materials.

Recycling centre

KoreNet converts goods that cannot be reused as products into reusable raw materials. For example, KoreNet separates your delivered wood into reusable wood and wood that goes to the chipboard industry. KoreNet also uses a sorting plant to separate raw materials delivered mixed, such as wood, plastic and metal for recycling.

Education

From the education room, you have a view over the Ecopark. Here you can learn more about the circular economy and how you yourself can contribute to a better environment. The education room can be visited by appointment and is suitable for groups, such as school classes. Guided tours of the Ecopark are also possible.

Our partners

Together with our local partners Korevaar Group, De Gezel, 2nd chance building materials and Korenet, we make every effort here to reuse your discarded items in the best possible way. That way, we don't waste raw materials.

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.
