Fall, fall, what have you got for sale? Walk around Zoetermeer and you will see brown, yellow and red leaves that have fallen from the trees. Very beautiful, but they also cause a mess on the street. That is why you can arrange a leaf basket for your door in Zoetermeer.

At the request of residents, the municipality installs leaf baskets to keep the streets tidy. That’s why you’ll find them scattered all over the city. Once requested, the municipality will automatically install the leaf basket again the following year.
This is how you request a leaf basket
The municipality places the leaf baskets in the months of September and October. Are you missing a leaf basket in your area? Then you can have one to request via the municipality’s website or using the ‘outside better app‘. You may only throw leaves into the leaf baskets and not branches or other garden waste. The municipality empties the baskets once a week and removes them again in mid-December.
Leave the sheet
A neat sidewalk or front garden looks nice, but did you know that it is actually good to leave leaves? At least, on the unpaved ground in your garden, public gardens, flower beds or tree stands. In this way, the leaves can protect plants against the cold in winter.
Make sure that the plants remain free, so that they do not suffocate. Animals such as hedgehogs and insects also find shelter between the leaves. It saves you some tidying up and nature is happy with it!
