Dutch National Tile-Ripping Championship Has Begun
On March 19, the Dutch National Tile-Ripping Championship (NK Tegelwippen) kicked off, and our municipality is participating again to make our area greener. Last year, we secured 3rd place in the group with the Twentse Wippers, with 9,768 tiles ripped out.
This year promises to be an exciting competition once more. Will you help us secure victory in 2026?
If you’re planning to replace the tiles in your garden with greenery, register your ripped-out tiles for the Dutch National Tile-Ripping Championship. After all, the fewer tiles there are:
- the lower the risk of flooding
- the cooler it stays in summer
- the better it is for biodiversity
You can participate until October 31, 2026. The tile taxi will also be operating this year to collect your ripped-out tiles for free. For more information, visit: losser.nl/tegelwippen.
