- Intro text: Find out how to separate waste even better! Learn useful tips and tricks to make a difference in our region. From smart recycling suggestions to creative reuse ideas. Read it now in our blog and let's build a cleaner and more sustainable environment for all of us together!
Since the industrial revolution in 1750, humans became increasingly distant from nature. The production of goods grew immensely, as did the economy. But where more is produced, more waste is also created. A waste stream of paper, plastic, Styrofoam, food scraps, electronics, iron and so on. This is not only around people, but also around animals and plants. By separating our waste better, together we contribute to a better environment and a cleaner living environment. We explain why waste separation is so important and what you can do about it yourself at home.
Why separate waste?
Waste is a big problem. We are all producing more and more waste and this has a negative impact on the environment. It takes a lot of energy and raw materials to process waste. While others can still put your (old) stuff to good use. Or perhaps there are reusable materials among them that can be recycled. By separating waste and recycling old items, you will find that you have much less residual waste at home. This saves raw materials and energy. So less residual waste is good for the environment and for our wallets.
Separating our waste incorrectly also causes additional air pollution. Burning waste also releases a lot of CO2. This is bad for the environment and the climate. Animals also suffer because of waste in nature. They eat it and get sick. Or they get caught in it. By separating our waste properly, we can reduce these negative consequences.
Separating waste and raw materials: a breeze!
Anyway, we all know that separating waste is not usually anyone's favourite chore. So make it easy on yourself with the following tips:
- For example, put a separate bin for food waste and cardboard next to your bin. Don't have room for multiple bins in your home? You are not the only one. There are now many space-saving solutions on the market. For example, a duo waste bin called Vriflex.
- Make sure your waste bins are in the right places. For example, put a paper bin next to your desk.
- Make it visible. For example, put stickers on the bins showing what belongs in them.
Important for the environment
Separating waste is important for the environment and the future of our planet. By separating waste better, we can reuse raw materials and reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment. The tips above will make separating waste easier. Involve the whole family and make it a challenge. Together, we can contribute to a better world. Good luck with waste separation!

The 5 most frequently asked questions about the changes
From 1 January 2024, the municipalities of Gorinchem, Hardinxveld-Giessendam and Molenlanden will introduce the recycling tariff. How does the recycling tariff work?
From 1 January 2024, municipalities will charge Gorinchem, Hardinxveld-Giessendam and Molenlanden waste levy on a new way. The waste levy then consists of a fixed and changing part. This changing part is called the recycling rate. The fixed part is for everyone in the municipality the same. This pays you at the beginning of the year together with municipal taxes. At the end of a year, the municipality what you have to pay for the changing part. You pay this changing part so afterwards. The amount depends on how often you use your Have had your general waste container emptied or a bag in the collection container for
discarded residual waste. That number we read with a chip on your residual waste container or the times you use the Collection container for residual waste has opened with the environment card.
What are the rates from 1 January 2024?
The municipal council of your municipality determines the exact allocation between the fixed and changing part of the waste levy. A proposal from the Waardlanden board is before municipalities for recycling rates of 2024. The municipal council of your municipality will set the rates formally fixed. The rate depends on your living situation and how you your residual waste offered. From 1 January 2024, there will be 3 different recycling rates:
- High-rise Pmd+rest together in collection container for residual waste
Per opening, you can use one rubbish bag of up to 60 litres. This includes low-rise houses without containers at the house, such as in the centre of Gorinchem and Nieuwpoort. - Low-riseRest in collection container for residual waste
Per opening, you can use one rubbish bag of up to 60 litres. - Outlying area240-litre waste container
Why are all plastic collection containers disappearing packaging, metal packaging and beverage containers (pmd)?
In June 2021, the municipal councils Of the municipalities of Gorinchem, Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Molenlanden and Vijfheerenlanden it new waste and resources policy
adopted. In it, among Other that residents of high-rise buildings and residents of a low-rise house without 3 containers the pmd and residual waste together in the collection container for residual waste do. All collection containers for pmd disappear.
High-rise buildings mean we have flats, flats and upper dwellings. Low-rise housing without containers are, for example, in the centre of Gorinchem, Leerdam, Vianen, Nieuwpoort and in a hamlet such as De Giessenburg and De Bilderhof.
This was decided after A waste analysis of the collection containers in 2021. From this analysis revealed that there are still far too many raw materials such as plastic packaging, metal packaging and beverage containers (pmd) are in the residual waste at high-rise and low-rise housing without containers. It also revealed from this waste analysis that in the collection containers for pmd still a lot of the wrong waste. In both cases, this means that unnecessary many raw materials have to be burnt become. We want to avoid that. This is why we collect all waste from the high-rise and low-rise buildings without space for containers in Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Gorinchem and the former municipality of Vianen now jointly. We will also do this in Molenlanden and Vijfheerenlanden as soon as residents have an environmental pass. We will have this waste post-separated at the waste processor with a machine. This separates the pmd from residual waste. Thus, the pmd still be recycled. Only the residual waste that remains is burned. All collection containers for pmd disappear.

Why is less waste so important?
Every day we throw away all sorts of things as waste. Plastic, food scraps, cardboard, glass, an old table, you name it. For us, it's waste, we want to nothing more with it. Nevertheless, almost all this waste very well a second life get. It is not waste. Reuse is good for the environment. By reuse we need less if throw away waste. So we save raw materials and energy needed To create new products. When you recycle waste, you help to a clean and beautiful environment, for yourself and future generations. The ultimate goal is a world with as little waste as possible where we reuse discarded products. Buy products that are sustainable packaged or packaging-free, even then contribute significantly to that. We are going to have even more work on less residual waste. We want to go from 232 kilograms in 2020 to 100 kilograms per person per year in 2025. Nationwide, the goal is to have 2050 there should be no more residual waste. We need everyone's help with that!

- Intro text: After an intensive period of street monitoring, informing and warning, from 12 June our supervisors will proceed to apply urgent administrative coercion if residents' offering behaviour does not improve.
When collecting waste, our staff regularly come across serious pollution. Such as by-placements of waste at collection containers and dumped waste in public areas. Since the introduction of the environmental card, there are even more byplacements in certain areas. To ensure clean and safe public spaces, we address residents. If disposal behaviour does not eventually improve, our supervisors will proceed to apply urgent administrative coercion.
Our Supervision & Enforcement team has received many reports of waste dumping since the closure of the collection containers in Gorinchem and Hardinxveld-Giessendam. It is important to clear these up as soon as possible. After all, waste dumping is bad for a neighbourhood's safety and public health. And it also looks very dirty.
Visible in the neighbourhoods
Over the past few weeks, our environmental coaches and supervisors had many conversations with residents about the delivery rules and the new waste policy. They were also able to help residents who had problems with their environmental card. And they spoke to entrepreneurs, because commercial waste does not belong in our collection containers.
Supervisors move to urgent administrative order
After an intensive period of monitoring the streets, informing and alerting, our supervisors will start from 12 June proceed to apply urgent administrative coercion if residents' offering behaviour does not improve. The cost of this is set at €206.50 per violation. Enforcement on waste and raw materials collection is not done lightly. There is always a reason for it. For each situation, our supervisors assess what form of enforcement is needed. This can be done by providing information, issuing warnings and resorting to emergency administrative enforcement.
What is urgent administrative order?
We apply urgent administrative enforcement. We charge for the cost of removing the waste and thus eliminating the unsafe and unhealthy situation. The advantage is that the environment is left clean, as pollution is cleaned up immediately. If there are witnesses to the placing of the waste, our supervisors will talk to them. In that case, the supervisors conduct neighbourhood investigations.
When do supervisors proceed with urgent administrative enforcement?
Supervision focuses mainly on adding waste to the collection containers or dumping waste in public areas. Repeated littering of containers can also lead to urgent administrative enforcement.
Use the separation guide
Do you ever doubt which bin a product or material belongs in? The separation guide and the Waardlanden app help with this. This way, you always have all information on waste and raw materials at hand.

- Intro text: Today marks the launch of the tidy up campaign launched. This campaign alerts residents to the need to reduce residual waste. And encourages you to separate your own waste and important raw materials even better at home. Because less residual waste is important for the environment and your wallet.
Today marks the launch of the 'Nice and tidy' campaign launched. This campaign alerts residents to the need to reduce residual waste. And encourages you to separate your own waste and important raw materials even better at home. Because less residual waste is important for the environment and your wallet. The campaign contributes to the goal of significantly reducing the amount of residual waste per inhabitant, to no more than 100 kilograms in 2025. This is a reduction of 132 kilograms per person per year compared to 2020. To achieve this, we work together with the municipalities of Gorinchem, Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Molenlanden and Vijfheerenlanden.
Introduction of recycling tariff in 2024
To reduce the amount of residual waste, the municipalities of Gorinchem, Hardinxveld-Giessendam and Molenlanden will introduce the recycling tariff from 1 January 2024. These municipalities will then calculate waste charges in a new way. You will have an influence on the amount of part of the waste disposal charges. A part is fixed and a part is variable. This varying part is called the recycling rate. Do you separate raw materials well and have little residual waste? Then the costs are lower than if you have a lot of residual waste. You pay the recycling rate for each time you present residual waste. The new way of calculating waste charges will not apply to Vijfheerenlanden residents in 2024. The municipalities take into account residents with a lot of medical waste, litter pickers and households with insufficient income.
Less waste and proper separation means less residual waste
The 'Lekker Opgeruimd' campaign should help residents separate their own waste even better to reduce residual waste. Waardlanden director Hans van den Brule said: 'The campaign shows that everyone can also do something good at home. Reducing residual waste is necessary to prevent further depletion of raw materials. Because by separating waste even better, we can recycle more raw materials. This is important for the environment and in this way we all help to create a clean and waste-free environment for ourselves and future generations.'
Nice and tidy!
Part of the campaign is the 'Waste Separation Quiz'. With this online quiz, residents test their knowledge about separating and reducing waste. We also publish blogs and videos with more content on sustainability and practical tips on how to separate waste even better. Would you like to stay up to date and receive useful tips? Then sign up for our e-mail newsletter and follow us on social media. The campaign will be visible offline as well as online. Such as expressions on the streets and on the municipal pages in door-to-door newspapers. And our environmental coaches will be out daily to help and advise on the streets, at meetings and events.

- Intro text: Residents of Gorinchem-Oost will receive an environmental pass in their letterbox from this week. From 15 May, Waardlanden will close the collection containers for residual waste. The containers can then only be opened with the environmental pass.
There will be changes around waste collection in the coming period. Together with the municipalities, Waardlanden is implementing the changes step by step. Residents of Gorinchem-Oost will receive an environment pass in their letterbox from this week onwards. From 15 May, the collection containers for residual waste will be closed in Gorinchem-Oost. Gorinchem-East also includes Dalem and the districts Laag-Dalem, Hoog-Dalem Wijdschild and the Binnenstad. In these parts of the municipality, the containers can only be opened with the environmental pass. An important change with which the municipality also wants to combat waste tourism.
Gorinchem-West residents receive environmental pass later
Residents of Gorinchem-West will receive the environmental pass a week later. From 22 May, the collection containers for residual waste in the Gildenwijk, Haarwijk, Lingewijk and Stalkaarsen will then also be closed. If you live in a flat, flat or upstairs flat in Gorinchem, the pass will also open the new VGF containers in this municipality.
After Gorinchem, residents of Vijfheerenlanden will receive the environmental pass
At the end of June, it will be Vijfheerenlanden's turn. Residents of Ameide, Hei en Boeicop, Kedichem, Leerbroek, Leerdam, Lexmond, Meerkerk, Nieuwland, Oosterwijk, Schoonrewoerd and Tienhoven aan de Lek will receive a letter with the environmental pass around 19 June. From 26 June, we will close the collection containers for residual waste in these places. The containers can then be opened with the environmental pass. Residents of Everdingen, Hagestein, Hoef en Haag, Vianen and Zijderveld will receive the letter with the environmental pass on 26 June. Here, the collection containers for residual waste will be closed from 3 July. Finally, it will be Molenlanden's turn in September. Companies with a contract with Waardlanden Reinigingsbedrijf BV will also receive an environmental pass in the coming period.
Residents outside area get environmental pass during 2023
All residents of outlying areas in the four municipalities will have received a new residual waste container at their homes by autumn 2022. After the residual waste collection containers in their municipality are closed, they can no longer use these collection containers. During 2023, they will also receive an environmental pass. The pass will then be needed for access to Waardlanden's waste collection points.
Less residual waste through better separation
The environmental card is part of the new waste and raw materials policy of the municipalities of Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Gorinchem, Molenlanden and Vijfheerenlanden. This policy was adopted in 2021. The policy plan sets out how the municipalities, together with Waardlanden, intend to reduce the amount of residual waste from 232 kilograms in 2020 to 100 kilograms per person per year in 2025. To achieve this goal, waste must be better separated.
Important for the environment and your wallet
If we do nothing to reduce the amount of residual waste, the costs of collecting and processing waste and raw materials will increase in the coming years. Because, for instance, residual waste processing fees and central government taxes will continue to rise. With the new policy, we try to keep the costs per inhabitant manageable. Less residual waste is therefore important for both the environment and your wallet.
Moreover, the national goal is to have zero residual waste by 2050. All waste should be reprocessable into raw materials by then, and preferably even sooner. If we avoid residual waste and reuse more, we will need to extract fewer new materials from the earth. Because everything we burn is gone forever and cannot be reused.

Less waste is important for the environment, our surroundings, future generations and for your wallet. To encourage waste separation and reduce the amount of residual waste, the municipalities and Waardlanden have drawn up a new waste and raw materials policy. This policy will bring about changes in the coming period. Preventing and properly separating waste can be quite a challenge. That is why our environmental coaches and supervisors are ready to inform and help residents to reduce their residual waste and separate it (even) better where necessary.
Waste prevention and separation
There are many questions and ideas among residents about waste prevention and separation. This is understandable. Our environmental coaches Ingrid Lopulalan (left in the picture) and Nelleke Gouw (right in the picture) educate residents and inform them about good waste separation. in the neighbourhood. They are present in the neighbourhood, at meetings and events. This helps to improve the quality of the raw materials collected. The environmental coaches are in contact with residents and civil society organisations in the municipalities. They answer questions and give tips and advice on everything concerning waste separation. So do you not know something or are you in doubt? Do not hesitate and ask your question online or when you meet the environmental coaches.
> Put your question to our environmental coaches
Preventing serious pollution
To properly implement waste collection changes, supervisors are important. When collecting waste, our employees sometimes come across serious pollution. Such as by-placements of waste at the underground containers and dumped waste in the public space. Putting waste next to a collection container or in the public space is not allowed. We want to counter this with the arrival of supervisors. They have therefore been employed by Waardlanden since 1 March 2023. The supervisors are easy to approach and are ready to answer questions about the new waste policy. During rounds in the neighbourhoods, they educate residents and enter into dialogue with them as soon as they notice pollution.
If problems persist in neighbourhoods, supervisors will proceed to apply urgent administrative coercion. The amount is set at € 206.50 per violation. Our supervisors can be recognised by their blue uniform and a Waardlanden car.

From 232 kilograms to a maximum of 100 kilograms per person per year
In the coming years, we will work even harder to reduce residual waste. We want to go from 232 kilograms in 2020 to 100 kilograms per person per year in 2025. Some 70 per cent of our waste contains valuable raw materials and is suitable for recycling. This is important because there are fewer and fewer raw materials. With more reuse, we need to extract fewer new materials from the earth. And less residual waste remains that we have to have incinerated at high cost. That is better for the environment and for your wallet. Find out more at waardlanden.nl/samenafvalrvrij.
