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.

Have you lost or found something? Return it to the town hall or fill in the form on the website of the municipality: www.vlieland.nl/gevonden-voorwerpen. The website includes also a list of found items.

Opening hours town hall

More tips and information.

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. The residential care facility De Uiterton offers people who need inpatient and outpatient care the opportunity to enjoy the island either alone, with their partner or together with their family.

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