In Peel en Maas, a great deal of attention is paid to waste separation. The local authority wants residents to sort their waste properly into flows such as plastic, paper and general waste. This helps to reuse raw materials.
Disposing of waste
There are various ways to dispose of waste. You can take some items to the recycling centre. You can return other items to a shop, for example, if you buy something new. You can also take reusable items to a charity shop. That’s how these items are given a new lease of life.
Do you live in an accommodation for migrant workers? If so, ask your landlord for the rules on waste collection.
