Intro text: Help clean up the River Linge during the Canal Cleanup - clean water starts with ourselves
Municipality: Rivers Region

On Saturday 8 November it's time for the Canal Cleanup along the Linge. Join in and help clean up the river from litter! Sustainable Innovation Foundation is organising this major cleanup action together with Recycle Valley, the municipalities of Gorinchem and West Betuwe, Waterschap Rivierenland and the Rivierenland Fund.

From Gorinchem to Doornenburg, dozens of volunteers help to clear plastic, cans and other litter from and along the river.
The whole route is 100 kilometres long and divided into short routes of 2 to 4 kilometres. So everyone can participate: young and old, alone or with the whole family. In less than two hours, you can already make a difference!

The Canal Cleanup is part of a larger, nationwide initiative called from the Dunes to Germany. The goal is clear: together, ensure cleaner rivers and less damage to nature, animals and water. A lot of waste still ends up in water every year. Together, we can change that!

Intro text: Join De Cirkel thrift shop on 4 October for a festive day of fun activities, treats and great bargains!
Municipality: Hardinxveld-Giessendam
Place: Hardinxveld-Giessendam
Location: Circle shop De Cirkel

Saturday 4 October is once again the National Recycling Day at Kringloop De Cirkel. Inside, a shop full of great bargains awaits you, as well as coffee and sweets. There will be lemonade for the children and they can dig for free in the grab bag. The residents of De Buitenhof, together with our volunteers, bake delicious sandwiches and burgers. And for the lovers, we scoop ice creams from the ice cream bike.

As every year, the day's proceeds go to a charity. This time it is De Buitenhof in Hardinxveld. Together, we hope to hand over a wonderful cheque.

In short: it promises to be a pleasant day full of music, treats and bargains. We are looking forward to it, are you?
