Organic waste, or vegetable, fruit and garden waste plus food scraps: what happens to it after collection? And why is it important to separate this type of waste?
Once we have collected the organic waste, it is sent to Attero in Maastricht. This company turns the organic waste into compost. Contaminants such as glass and packaging materials are sorted out. After a few weeks, the clean compost can be used in agriculture and horticulture.
Separating organic waste helps protect the environment and can save you money. That's because you can dispose of it for free in the green caddy or wheelie bin.
