From dead chickens to diapers and wood waste in organic waste containers: “We are going to check incorrect sorters more strictly” (Sint-Niklaas)
Sint-Niklaas/Temse/Waasmunster/Sint-Gillis-Waas/Stekene –
Waste intermunicipal company MIWA, responsible for waste collection and the recycling parks in Sint-Gillis-Waas, Sint-Niklaas, Stekene, Temse and Waasmunster, will closely monitor the contents of the green organic waste containers in the coming weeks. Too often waste that doesn’t belong there ends up there, even dead chickens and used diapers.
“Gft stands for vegetable, fruit and garden waste. But we have noticed that many people use the containers to dump waste that does not belong there,” says Maxime Vanderhaeghen, spokesperson for MIWA. (Read more below the photo)
For example, the garbage collectors found used diapers, compostable bags, bread bags, plastic bags, wood blocks, vacuum cleaner bags and even dead chickens in the green containers. “And that is not the intention,” says Vanderhaeghen. “Mistakes happen out of ignorance or inattention. But unfortunately the collection team also has to deal with residual waste that is hidden under a layer of organic waste. The collectors then have to manually remove it from the collection truck during the round wrong avoid waste in the garbage truck.”
“If residual waste ends up in the organic waste bin, the entire load of the collection truck cannot be composted, but must be processed as residual waste. So get burned. Very polluting and also very expensive”
Maxime Vanderhaeghen
Spokesperson MIWA
“That is why MIWA will organize strict checks on the correct sorting of organic waste in the coming weeks,” says the spokesperson. “Throwing your waste in the wrong container has major consequences. If residual waste ends up in the organic waste bin, the entire load of the collection truck cannot be composted, but must be processed as residual waste. So get burned. Very polluting and also very expensive. Every citizen is partly responsible for this.” (Read more below the photo)
A team from MIWA will now accompany the regular collectors of organic waste in the coming weeks. “Containers with sorting errors are not emptied. They remain standing with an information hanger on the container stating the reason why it was refused,” Vanderhaeghen added.
If you have any doubts about what may or may not go in the green or blue bag, you can find all the information on the waste calendar or the sorting guide at www.miwa.be.

March of Life
Written by Christina Vontin
On Sunday the March of Life took place in Budapest for the 20th time to remember the victims of the Holocaust.
With almost a hundred Holocaust survivors (who were transported in electric vehicles this year) and to the sound of the shofar, participants in the vigil march marched from the synagogue on Dohány utca to the Ostbahnhof. Speakers there recalled the terrorist attack on Israel on October 7th and warned of the dangers of a resurgent anti-Semitism.
Hungary is a role model for zero tolerance policy
Israel’s Ambassador to Budapest, Yakov Hadas-Handelsman, emphasized the importance of educating the young generation to combat racism, discrimination and injustice. He noted with regret that 80 years after the Holocaust, Jews around the world have to fear again. In this context, he described Hungary as an island of renewal with a thriving Jewish community. He thanked the government for its support and emphasized that Hungary is setting an example in implementing a zero-tolerance policy against anti-Semitism.
Call for freedom and life
In a video message, Israeli President Yitzhak Herzog said that while the Holocaust was a unique crime in human history, the Jewish community had suffered another deep tragedy in recent months. Referring to the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, he said that the blindness of hatred had driven opponents of the Jewish people and the State of Israel to murder, torture, robbery, destruction, rape and kidnapping. The victims of the attack would demand justice, freedom and their right to life.
Gábor Gordon, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the March of Life Foundation, said the terrible horrors of the Holocaust – one of humanity’s greatest genocides – must always be remembered, also to celebrate the love of life and the will to live. He particularly welcomed the Holocaust survivors who took part in the commemoration event. He described them as the actual VIP guests of the event, who had overcome death through their will to live. Reflecting on October 7, he said it was disturbing that crowds celebrated Hamas’s murderous acts of terrorism not only in Muslim countries but also in major cities in Western civilization.
Western world watches idly
Baruch Adler, deputy director of the international organization March of the Living, said the world’s silence after the events of October 7 was “deafening.” The promise of “Never again!” rings hollow in the face of unrelenting brutality; we, as citizens of the free world, should be ashamed for standing idly by and watching history repeat itself. He called the March of Life a triumph of good over evil.
At the beginning of the event, a plaque commemorating the 440,000 Hungarian Jews who were deported and murdered between May 15 and July 9, 1944 was unveiled in Tivadar-Herzl Square in front of the synagogue on Dohány utca. At the end of the memorial service, candles were lit in memory of the victims of the Holocaust and the October 7 terrorist attack.
