Something new: for this there are yellow bakkies on the street

In various places in the city you suddenly see small, bright yellow bins. Can you charge your OV chip card or electric bicycle there? No, you throw in empty cans and plastic bottles. At least, that’s the intention.

The municipality of Zoetermeer has placed fifteen so -called deposit boxes. They are in places where Zoetermeerders regularly roam in waste bins, looking for deposit packaging. This does not always happen in a neat way, which means that waste falls on the street during the bowl. The municipality hopes to prevent this mess with the new bins.
