Afval scheiden

Thuis ben je waarschijnlijk gewend om afval van elkaar te scheiden, maar hoe doen wij dat op Vlieland? Papier, glas en textiel  worden gescheiden.

Op de duinhuizenterreinen zijn er verschillende verzamelpunten voor afval, papiercontainers, glasbakken en restafval. Op de haven bij het havengebouw is een verzamelpunt en in de Dorpsstraat zijn bij de supermarkten glasbakken om het glas te deponeren.

Waarom wordt er op Vlieland geen afval gescheiden?

Voor niet bron-gescheiden gft-afval, kunststof, drankenkartons en metaal is nascheiding goedkoper en efficiënter.

Het afval wordt dus wel degelijk van elkaar gescheiden, in Ecopark de Wierde van Omrin komt dit afval in de scheidings- en bewerkingsinstallatie. Hightech machines halen zoveel mogelijk herbruikbare afvaldeeltjes uit deze afvalmix. Dit gebeurt bijna volledig automatisch.

Herbruikbare grondstoffen die uit het afval worden gehaald,  worden geleverd aan de verwerkende industrie. Deze maken er bijvoorbeeld nieuwe producten van.

Getting married on Vlieland

Vlieland has long been a popular location for weddings. Accompanied by family and friends far removed for the hustle and bustle of the 'mainland'. Or for those who prefer to get married quietly. Where else can you experience this nowadays? On Vlieland of course. An almost car-free island with wide beaches, woods and dunes. But also with adequate facilities to ensure every wedding party is a success.

You can get all the necessary information to help you prepare for the planned wedding via the municipality of Vlieland.

Holiday with care

Everybody loves going on holidays. We all need to take some time off to relax and recharge our batteries. Even people who have (inpatient and outpatient) care would love to take a holiday but quite often cannot because they need care.

Please go to the website of de Uiterton for more information on Holiday with care.
