Is your paper container completely full? Don't worry, there are plenty of ways to dispose of your waste paper and cardboard properly. In this article, we give useful tips as well as explain how you can help make paper collection run smoothly.
5 tips to properly dispose of your waste paper and cardboard
A full paper container can be annoying. You want to dispose of your paper and cardboard neatly, but what can you do when your container is full? Make use of these handy tips and make sure your paper ends up in the right place.
1. Make smart use of space
Do you have large cardboard boxes? Flatten them well and make them small before putting them in the container. This will fit in a lot more, and prevent the container from filling up quickly.
2. Take paper and cardboard to a nearby collection container
There are collection containers for paper and cardboard in the neighbourhood. These are often located near shopping centres, flats or housing estates. Here you can dispose of your paper and cardboard free of charge. This is useful when your own container is full.
3. Apply for an additional paper container
Do you often have more paper and cardboard than will fit in your container? No problem. Then you can get an extra 240-litre paper container for free applications.
4. Take paper and cardboard to the waste disposal site
You can also bring paper and cardboard to the environmental centre free of charge. Don't forget to bring your environmental card.
5. Make arrangements with your neighbours
On the day the paper containers are emptied, you can dispose of the paper in your neighbour's container, if there is still space there. Always discuss this with your neighbours beforehand. Make sure you make everything small and put it neatly in the container. This keeps the neighbourhood tidy and neat!
Together we keep the neighbourhood clean
Do not put paper or cardboard next to the collection container. Apart from the high clean-up costs for this offence, it also causes litter in the neighbourhood. Paper quickly gets wet and dirty or blows through the neighbourhood like litter. By returning paper and cardboard in the right way, together we keep the neighbourhood tidy and clean.
