Adopt an environmental island

Do you think a clean city is important and would you like to help? Then adopt an environmental island and help us keep your neighborhood clean. Adopting an environmental island means keeping an eye on it and helping to keep it neat and tidy. This way there is less litter in our city and less food on the streets that attract pests.

How does it work?

If you adopt an environmental island, we'll give you the gear to do it right.

  • You will receive a cleaning kit with a litter pick, work gloves, trash bags and a broom to clean up small litter left next to the container.
  • You will also be given a key to open the container at the back to clear blockages. 
  • Once you have signed up, Waste Collection Customer Service will set up an appointment with you at Environmental Island. There you will receive the cleaning kit and an explanation of the container.
  • We give you a phone number where you can report a broken container or hazardous situation immediately. By hazardous situation, think of sharp objects or harmful substances. We will handle your report as soon as possible.
