Calling All Polder Beachcombers: Let’s Work Together for a Clean West Maas en Waal

This is an old post.

In the municipality West Maas en Waal , the polder cleanup crews West Maas en Waal the streets again this year. Twice a year, local clubs and community organizations roll up their sleeves. They pick up litter in the neighborhood and the polders. This helps them raise a nice sum for their club funds. They also make a valuable contribution to a clean and healthy living environment.

Spring and Fall Cleaning

The polder cleanup will take place on Saturday, April 11, and Saturday, October 3. These are the best times to pick up litter. In early spring, the vegetation is low, and in the fall, the water level hasn’t risen too high yet. This makes it possible to clean up the litter effectively and safely.

Clubs Wanted

The municipality is looking for organizations that would like to participate on both days. In return for their efforts, they will receive a stipend of at least €400. The final amount depends on the size of the area being cleaned.
The term “organization” also includes community organizations. Organizations that have not participated before will be given priority. In this way, the municipality aims to give more organizations the opportunity to contribute to this wonderful initiative.

Alderman Jan Slootweg: “With the polder cleanup, we’re killing two birds with one stone: together, we’re keeping our natural areas clean and supporting our community organizations. It’s wonderful to see how dedicated these organizations are to their local environment. I therefore warmly encourage all organizations to join in.”
