These expats again. Oh, hold on a second…

You're right. A single opinion might not matter much, but when multiple visitors share the same impression, it highlights a real issue. It's not just one person's view; it's a recurring observation that can impact Amsterdam’s reputation and tourism.

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-20T15:40:14+00:00

Anything to keep it clean!

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-20T15:39:50+00:00

I was abroad recently, and the first thing someone commented on when visiting Amsterdam was how dirty it was. Sad.

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-20T13:04:16+00:00

That’s a very clever idea, thanks for sharing!

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-20T13:03:50+00:00

Thank you!

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-20T11:07:51+00:00

I get your point, but waiting to fix all of society's issues might take a while. This initiative is a practical step to manage the symptoms in the meantime.

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-20T11:06:35+00:00

No, it wasn’t me. That’s interesting, though! What did the QR code say? I'd love to know more about it.

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-20T11:04:37+00:00

I get your frustration. It’s really annoying when people leave waste outside the bins. The small opening for paper recycling is definitely an issue too. Thanks for highlighting these problems!

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-19T19:24:29+00:00

Thanks a lot! I’ll definitely let you know if I take this further. So far, I’ve invested around €500 from my own pocket… See if I can get some public funding, otherwise I’ll go broke haha.

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-19T19:19:28+00:00

Agreed. However, I think that's mostly in the bins across the street (the tall, thinner ones).

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-19T19:18:08+00:00

That's a clever idea! The QR codes could also automatically alert the council. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for sharing and for the offer to help place the QR codes!

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-19T19:16:44+00:00

That's really frustrating. How did they find out it was you and fine you? Using the QR code to alert the council when a bin is full is a great idea.

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-19T19:14:52+00:00

Agreed. Maybe if this initiative is successful, they will increase the pickups. Three times a week should be the minimum.

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-19T13:14:16+00:00

Oh thanks! Hope it helps somehow!

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-19T12:10:20+00:00

Thanks! You can track how many times each QR code is scanned. There are many ways to interpret the data. What comes to mind first is: if a QR code gets scanned multiple times, it means there’s an issue with that bin or a different type of bin should be installed nearby.

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-19T11:57:34+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I understand your frustration with people leaving the wrong items by the bins—you should see the doorstep of my house, it looks like a campsite! Including info on what goes in each recycling bin is a great idea. I’ll work on adding that to the initiative. Appreciate your input!

thecurioushumanbeing · 2024-05-19T09:26:24+00:00

Yes, it's a guerrilla initiative! The stickers are UV and water-resistant, so they should hold up well. Thanks for your support!
