Saturday, March 21: National Clean-Up Day
On Saturday, March 21, dozens of volunteers in Hilvarenbeek will also take to the streets, squares, and outdoor areas to give them a fresh makeover. During National Clean-Up Day, everyone can participate: alone, with family, or together with neighbors, friends, or colleagues.
Did you know…?
In Hilvarenbeek, there are already more than 38 "zappers" active: residents who voluntarily clean up litter in their own neighborhoods. A small effort with a big impact. Thanks to them, our municipality remains tidy, livable, and something to be proud of.
Join in, alone or together
Are you working with an association, school class, group of friends, or another organization? Let us know via afval@hilvarenbeek.nl. There’s a good chance the mayor or alderman will come by to help out!
Need materials?
Materials such as grabbers, gloves, vests, red trash bags, and ring bag holders are available. You can register via afval@hilvarenbeek.nl. After confirmation, the materials will be ready for pickup at the reception desk the next working day.
Red bag spotted? Not littering!
See a red trash bag next to a container or bin? Don’t worry! This is collected litter from volunteers. The Diamantgroep uses these bags to recognize and properly collect the waste.
