ILvA takes part again in the "Enlarge the Hope Campaign" A yew hedge contains a substance that is used in cancer medicines. Therefore, between June 15 and August 31, bring your yew to the recycling park and join the fight against cancer. Because of the weighbridges system, bringing yew trimmings to ILvA cannot be done free of charge, but you have to pay at the same rate as for other waste. Still, ILvA delivers what you pay to the non-profit organization Kom op tegen Kanker. More info can be found here . Exchange a full sharps container for an empty container at a recycling park From Saturday 9 May 2015 you can exchange a full needle container for an empty container at the recycling park. Hypodermic needles are hazardous waste. They must therefore be taken to the recycling park, where they belong to the Small Hazardous Waste, but only if they have been put in a special sharps container. ILvA then ensures that the needles are processed safely. 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. For the blue PMD bag: by tying the ribbons of the drawstring closure. Bags that have been sealed with adhesive tape or in some other way (for example with 2 heads) will no longer be taken. Why are wrong bags not taken? 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 gegarandeerd heel wat 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!
