Want to make your garden greener? Tegeltaxi will collect your tiles for free
Do you want fewer stones and more greenery in your garden? Then now is the perfect time. The Tegeltaxi is back on the road. You remove the tiles from your garden, and the municipality will collect them from you free of charge. You can now make a reservation; the first collection day is 21 April.
A greener garden is not only more beautiful but also cooler in the summer, better able to withstand heavy rainfall, and attractive to birds and butterflies. By removing just a few tiles, you can already make a difference: for yourself and your surroundings.
I wish I had done this sooner
“Almost everyone who makes their garden greener later says: I wish I had done this sooner. It’s greener, cooler, and you simply feel more comfortable in your garden,” says councillor Mark Tuit. “With the Tegeltaxi, we make it easy to get started. You remove the tiles, and we collect them. I hope that soon, there will be participants in every street, because once one neighbour starts, others often follow.”
How it works
You can register for the Tegeltaxi via the page Tegels laten ophalen on this website. The terms and conditions and collection dates are also listed there. After registration, the Tegeltaxi will collect the tiles from you free of charge. If you use the Tegeltaxi, you can report the removed tiles to the NK Tegelwippen. This way, you not only help your own garden but also contribute to the national tile count.
If online registration doesn’t work, residents can visit the Informatiepunt Digitale Overheid at the Hoogeveen Library. There, you can get free assistance with registration.
So: remove a tile, plant something. Arrange the Tegeltaxi, and you’re on your way.
