Waste and litter

The sustainable processing of waste and the prevention of litter are essential for a clean and attractive Leiden Bio Science Park. There are ongoing several initiatives that stimulate the cleaning up of litter.

How do we keep our park clean?


An incubator for innovation

HelemaalGroen

The municipality of Leiden sponsors the cleanup initiative 'HelemaalGroen'. The app shows where litter has been collected and where action is still needed. Hopefully, this will motivate park visitors to handle waste responsibly.

Smoking ban

The smoking ban by the LUMC, the University and the University of Applied Sciences contributes to a cleaner environment around the buildings.

Refundable cups

The municipality systematically uses refundable cups for events as a means of reducing the amount of waste on the park.

Nuisance litter

Nuisance litter can be reported on the website of the municipality of Leiden.
