A thank you to you
We would like to thank you for separating your vegetable, fruit, garden and food waste. Thanks to your efforts, this waste is turned into compost, a natural and environmentally friendly soil improver. We ask you to continue to do so consciously and to prevent contamination with plastic or residual waste. Contaminated GFT waste cannot be processed into compost and will instead be incinerated. Are you unsure about what can go in the green bin? Then check the do/don't list on vang-hha.nl (This link leads to another website).
Compost is not only good for your garden, but also contributes to a better environment.
It improves soil structure, promotes plant growth and ensures better water management. In addition, compost helps store CO₂ in the soil, which contributes to the fight against climate change. Attero also generates sustainable energy from GFT and green waste, such as biogas and biofuel.
