Position the various rubbish bins next to one another in sorting islands or go for a ‘sorting unit’ with appropriate openings and compartments. For example, for residual waste it is best to choose a round opening that is not too big. This prevents large pieces of rubbish ending up in the bins.
Provide at least a two-part waste island, for residual waste and PMD. That way, everyone sees straight away that waste is sorted here and that not everything goes in the same bin. Where necessary, you can expand the sorting island to include paper-cardboard bins. Don’t forget that other fractions, such as left-over food and kitchen waste, are now mandatory as well.
The islands make the bins more conspicuous and easier to empty. Provide islands in all busy places and waiting areas. In short, everywhere that people eat, drink, pass by, wait or gather.
