Pizzadozen inzamelen

[KattyGeltmeyer]

Beste Belgische local guides

Ik houd me vaak bezig met het bijwerken van categorieën en tijdens m'n jacht op verkeerd gecategoriseerde publieke containers (glasbakken, kledingcontainers, ...) ontdekte ik dat er ook zulke containers voor pizzadozen bestaan: ik vond er 3 in Tienen: "Pizzadozen inzamelpunt".

Ik voeg een voorbeeld van een poi toe, die ik in Tienen vond:

Geen idee of de container zelf goed op de foto staat.

In dit krantenartikel lees je erover, specifiek over een proefproject in Diepenbeek:

@JanVanHaveren andere Belgische local guides: hebben jullie ook dergelijke containers in jullie buurt? Indien ja, voeg ze dan aub toe. Op deze manier slingeren die pizzadozen niet rond in parken of bij openbare vuilnisbakjes en kunnen we onze omgeving wat netter houden.

Bedankt bij voorbaat.

En mocht je een categorie gekozen hebben die niet klopt, geen nood. Ik kom graag helpen door dat in je toevoeging aan te passen.

Mvg, Katty

Que interesante @KattyGeltmeyer  lamentablemente no hay ningún contenedor especial para cajas de pizza en mi ciudad. 

Silvy.

Till yesterday I didn't know such special bins exist. I found some of them by stumbling on them on google maps.

Hi @KattyGeltmeyer 

This is indeed interesting, Katty.

In my area they are collected together with the paper, and then they are washed and managed automatically by the waste collection company according to colour and weigh, to separate different types of paper.

I want to inform you that I just released your post from spam quarantine. Our filter is working to protect the community and you from unwanted content, but sometimes it can be triggered by something and remove a legitimate post.

Hi @SilvyC @Ermest: thanks for your help. If such boxes are clean, they can be seen as old paper, but in most of the cases they are dirty. By putting them in special bins the dirty ones can be sorted out and be handled as needed. In the current situations, they are stuffed in the public bins or people deliver them to the old paper (but if they are dirty, they should be seen as another type of trash). So, by collecting them in special bins they can be sorted correctly and you also can avoid that other bins are becoming places of rat collecting zones.

Great post @KattyGeltmeyer . This one is really interesting. 

Sadly, there is no such trash bin in my city Mumbai. Hoping that soon the municipality officials will implead such facilities in mumbai also. It will really help us to make our city untidy. 

Thanks for sharing with us.

Interesting phenomenon indeed @KattyGeltmeyer and really helpful that you included the link to the newspaper article (although that might apparently have triggered the spam filter 😖). The main problem seems to be indeed that quite a few of the pizzaboxes that are thrown away still contan parts of pizza...

@NandKK @SilvyC @@@@NandKK: misschien eens over dit soort vuilbakken vertellen aan mensen in uw omgeving in de hoop dat het de ambtenaren van uw stad ter ore komt? @@Janvanhaver: zelfs als je braaf je bordje (of in dit geval doosje) leeg eet, heb je kans dat er wat tomatensaus of kaas etc. in die kartonnen doos achterblijft. Meestalwordt zo'n doos dan in de publieke vuilnisbak gepropt, waardoor die veel te snel vol is.

Definately agree with you @KattyGeltmeyer 

We should not wait for others to work in action, we should start the change by ourselves only.

@KattyGeltmeyer Thank you very much for providing information about the initiative of placing dedicated bins for pizza boxes in Diepenbeek. this trial project seems promising, and the evaluation after the winter will provide valuable insights into its effectiveness. It's a commendable step toward maintaining the cleanliness of public spaces and addressing specific waste challenges associated with popular local businesses.
