Only correctly tied bags are included Only bags that are properly tied will be taken along. Tying properly means : For the yellow residual fraction bag: with one crop large enough to serve as a “handle”, to be made with the strips enclosed with the bags. Voor de blauwe PMD-zak: door de linten van de trekbandsluiting te knopen. Zakken die met plakband of op een andere manier zijn dicht gemaakt (bijvoorbeeld met 2 kroppen), zullen niet langer worden meegenomen. Waarom worden foute zakken niet meegenomen? Wanneer een zak is dichtgemaakt met plakband en zonder krop moet de ophaler de zak in het midden en met twee handen vastnemen. De zak moet vervolgens dicht tegen het lichaam gehouden worden om hem naar de vrachtwagen te brengen. Dat is niet zo hygiënisch en het kan gevaarlijk zijn als er scherpe voorwerpen in de zak zitten. Ook kan er maar 1 zak per keer worden genomen en naar de vrachtwagen gebracht. Dit zorgt voor behoorlijk wat tijdverlies en extra te lopen kilometers. Een ophaler kan zonder probleem 2 of meer zakken optillen als ze correct zijn dichtgebonden. Elke zak wordt verkocht voor een inhoud van 60 liter, maar biedt meer ruimte, precies om zo’n krop te kunnen maken. U verliest dus echt geen ruimte waar u recht op heeft. Bovendien is duidelijk dat met de bijgeleverde strips de bedoeling reeds jaren duidelijk is: maak zo’n krop. Uit respect voor de ophalers!
