Yes. We make reports of all recorded deposits made by litter pickers using the litter pass. The use of the litter pass gives us a complete picture of the number of deposits made by litter pickers in our entire catchment area. The litter pass also allows you to dispose of litter picked up in the municipality of Gorinchem, Hardinxveld-Giessendam and Molenlanden. You cannot do this with your environment pass.
