Vanaf 31 mei kun je weer iedere week de GFT-container aan de straat zetten. Kijk op de afvalkalender op welke dag we bij jou het GFT ophalen.
Hoe houd ik mijn container schoon en fris?
VFG waste left in a container can end up smelling bad, but there are ways to prevent that. Here are a few tips we’ve put down for you:
- Meat and fish remains are also allowed with VFG waste. Wrap them in a piece of newspaper to prevent the smell from getting out. A bit of paper in the VFG container is allowable as it will simply decompose with the rest of the waste.
- Place the VFG container in the shade and not where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
- Leave the lid ajar. Proper airing will prevent smells from developing in the container.
- Make sure the waste is as dry as possible before putting it in the container. Let grass clippings dry out and leave leftover food to drain in the sink.
- Een goede poetsbeurt helpt ook. Maak de container regelmatig schoon met groene zeep.
- You can stop attracting flies by putting the container in the shade and you can keep maggots away with a few sprigs of ivy or lavender.
