Saturday 21 March is again National Clean-Up Day. Will you help pick up litter in Oegstgeest and make the village cleaner? It’s a great activity to do with your family or neighbours. We will collect the gathered litter on Monday 23 March. Grabber tools, high-visibility vests and special refuse sacks are available to request via the website. You can collect the materials on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 March between 12.00 and 15.30 at the municipal yard.
Collect grabber tools at the municipal yard
Need grabber tools and sacks? You can collect/borrow them at the municipal yard, Haarlemmerstraatweg 30 in Oegstgeest. This is possible on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 March between 12.00 and 15.30 (ring the bell at the entrance).
Report full refuse sacks via Fixi
Place the collected litter in securely tied sacks next to a public waste bin to prevent them from blowing away. Use the special sacks provided for Clean-Up Day. This way we know it is not illegal dumping. We will collect the litter sacks on Monday.
- Report the location of the sacks before Monday 23 March via the Fixi app or via Fixi.nl.
- Do you come across large or hazardous waste? Leave it where it is and report it via the Fixi app.
- Return the clean-up materials as soon as possible to the municipal yard.
