abstract: Together with the increasing number of people living on the planet, the amount of waste is growing fast. This rapid growth results into the need for a well-structured waste collection infrastructure.  This study explores the possible influence of the waste collection infrastructure on the quality of life of public places in Groningen. To address this research objective, a mixed method study was conducted. The data is based on primary and secondary data, including a questionnaire, analysing maps in ArcGIS and a literature review. The key findings of this research reveal: ‘Lack in waste collection infrastructure does negatively impact the quality of life’ and ‘Low maintenance of a good waste disposal infrastructure does impact quality of life positively and negatively’. These findings contribute to the research and municipality by creating insight into the public places well-being. This is relevant to the spatial and urban planners of the municipality.
