Garbage collection calendars are distributed | Antwerp
AntwerpFrom now on, every Antwerp resident will receive the 2022 Collection Calendar in their mailbox. From 1 January 2022, it can also be consulted online via antwerp.be and the Recycle! app. To save paper, the city no longer distributes a Less Waste Magazine with the collection calendar.
Since the beginning of November, the city of Antwerp has distributed the 2022 Collection Calendar in the neighborhoods where the garbage truck passes. The 2022 Collection Calendar contains calendar information at the front and sorting instructions for PMD, paper and cardboard and glass at the back.
The collection calendars can also be consulted online from 1 January 2022 via www.antwerpen.be/ophaalkalender from the Recycle! app. The Recycle! app can be found in the App Store or in the Google Play Store under the name Recycle! The app bundles all information about waste processing and collection in your area in a personal overview. You will find all essential information on one screen: the date and content of your next collection, the opening times and closing days of your recycling center, collection points for batteries and electronics, glass bulbs, thrift shops, etc.
Els van Doesburg, Alderman for City and Neighborhood Maintenance: “With this app and the recent introduction of collections on public holidays, we are making it easy to correctly present household waste and to keep people around. That is good service that we provide to Antwerp residents.”
36 tons less paper
In the divided years, the city distributed the Less Waste Magazine with collection calendars. For the 2021 edition, this went to 40 tons of paper. Because the city strives for maximum digital communication, no magazine but a collection calendar will be distributed before 2022. The weight of the collection calendars is now 4 tons: a saving of 36 tons of paper and the associated budget.
From 1 January 2022, you can obtain an informative Waste Guide 2022 at the city counters of the various districts. It will also be available for digital download.
