Livability

Together we keep Geldrop-Mierlo clean

Waste is part of everyday life. That is why you will see mini containers, underground containers, garbage trucks, and the waste heroes of Cure Waste Management in our municipality. They ensure that waste is collected and processed.

However, if waste is not disposed of or collected properly, it can affect how clean and pleasant our municipality feels. That is why we are working together with residents to ensure a clean and pleasant living environment in Geldrop-Mierlo.

Something broken or dirty on the street? Report it easily

Have you noticed an overflowing trash can, dumped waste, or litter on the street? Or have you noticed something else in a public space, such as loose paving stones or broken street lighting?

Simply report this via the BuitenBeter app. With this app, you can quickly report what is going on so that the problem can be solved as quickly as possible.

PBD bags and crown rings

In our municipality, plastic packaging, cans, and beverage cartons (PBD) are collected separately. This is done in special PBD bags. These recognizable bags ensure that the waste ends up in the correct waste stream.

To prevent the bags from blowing away, you can hang them on a crown ring. This is a holder that hangs on a lamppost. The crown ring is also only used on collection day.

Would you like a crown ring in your neighborhood? You can request one via our contact form. Please include the word "crown ring" in your request and indicate where you would like the crown ring to be placed.

The PBD bags can be picked up free of charge at:

  • the town hall in Geldrop
  • the recycling center in Geldrop
  • the service desk at Albert Heijn, Nettorama, and Jumbo in Geldrop
  • Plus in Mierlo

Clean Geldrop-Mierlo and The Beast Gang

Many residents are already helping to clean up litter. Volunteers from Schoon Geldrop-Mierlo regularly go out and collect around 1,200 bags of waste from the countryside.

Would you like to help out or participate in a national clean-up day? Then visit the Schoon Geldrop-Mierlo website at. Children can also help keep the neighborhood clean. Children aged 6 to 12 can join De Beestenbende.

Together, they clean up litter so that animals are not affected by waste in nature. This teaches children in a fun way how important a clean environment is. For more information and to register, visit the De Beestenbende website at.

E-waste race and Textile race

The best waste is, of course, waste that is not produced. That is why primary school children are taught how to dispose of electronic waste and textiles correctly or give them a second life, for example through recycling.

During the E-waste race and Textile race, school classes compete twice a year to save as many devices and textiles as possible from the waste mountain.

Neighborhood initiatives

We create a clean neighborhood together. Perhaps you and your neighbors have a good idea for making your neighborhood cleaner or more sustainable. Consider, for example, a litter cleanup campaign in the neighborhood or a trash can pimping contest. The municipality may have materials or subsidies available for this. Initiatives that prevent waste are also eligible, such as a swap market or a cooking workshop using leftover food.
