Separating waste: bread
Do you have leftover bread? Put it in a bread collection bin or in a container for organic waste (GFT). Old bread will be turned into biogas: green (renewable) energy. You can find bread containers at more and more spots in The Hague. Look where the bread containers are located.

How to use the bread container and the containers for organic waste
- Throw your old bread in the bin. Without a bag or plastic wrapping.
- Throw only bread into the bread container.
If any plastic or other food is thrown in the bin, the bread cannot be turned into green energy. Everything will be treated as regular waste.
Prevent nuisance from rats and seagulls
Do not throw any bread on the street and do not feed the birds. This attracts rats and seagulls. There is a feeding ban in The Hague. Are you feeding birds or other animals? Then you can get a fine of € 110.
