Site visit to the new waste separation station 'De Splitsing'
On Thursday, March 19, Alderman Hans van den Akker visited the construction site of De Splitsing, the new waste separation station, accompanied by municipal employees. Construction is in full swing at the vast site at the end of the Breukelerwaard industrial estate. And it needs to be, according to project leader Jan de Boer: ‘From 2027, only De Splitsing will remain of the four waste collection points for all residents of the municipality to dispose of unwanted items and bulky waste.’
26 types of waste
At present, contractor Kwakkenbos is working on the buildings for the Circular Crafts Centre, Kansis, and the municipal yard. On the other side of the site, the platform for the waste collection point is taking shape. Residents will soon be able to dispose of 26 types of waste separately there. The aim is for a large portion to be reused as raw materials. This means that, after separation, little residual waste will remain to be sent to the incinerator. This is beneficial for the environment and our living environment.
Hans van den Akker: ‘It’s great to see in person what we’ve been looking at for so long in drawings and impressions. We look forward to welcoming residents to this future-proof location.’
From waste to raw material
At the Circular Crafts Centre, raw materials and usable items will be extracted from the waste. This is necessary because, as a municipality, we must meet the national ‘From Waste to Raw Material’ objective. In this agreement, we have pledged that all our waste will be recycled. Jeroen Duipmans, the initiator of the Circular Crafts Centre, enthusiastically explains: ‘On the ground floor, there will be a space where our partners will accept reusable, recyclable, or upcyclable items from residents who bring their materials. What remains will go into the containers at the waste collection point.’
The opening of De Splitsing is scheduled for late 2026. Want to know more? Keep an eye on our website:
