Anderlecht (Eurotoday): Anderlecht officials addressed illegal dumping on a regional road. Due to safety concerns, Net Brussel and Brussels Mobility will coordinate the cleanup.
Anderlecht officials have raised concerns about a buildup of waste, particularly construction debris, on a regional road in their area. Since regional authorities manage the road, the issue has been forwarded to the appropriate agencies. Net Brussel, responsible for waste collection in Brussels, has assured that they will address the situation promptly. However, they noted that the cleanup is complicated, as it requires coordination with multiple parties. Before proceeding, Net Brussel needs to consult with Brussels Mobility, the authority overseeing roads, to clarify who will take charge of the cleanup, ensuring that tasks are divided properly and safety measures are followed.
What measures are being taken to combat illegal dumping on the Ring Road?
According to Adel Lassouli from Net Brussel, they face challenges with illegal dumping on the Ring Road. This area is difficult for them to manage because it’s a busy highway with fast traffic, which raises safety concerns for their workers. To keep everyone safe, they need to plan carefully and take extra precautions. Because of this, they can’t carry out their usual cleanup efforts alone. Instead, they will collaborate with Brussels Mobility to find a safe way to tackle the waste problem while ensuring the safety of their team and following insurance guidelines.
“There are no cameras, and there is hardly any social control; illegal dumping takes place at night”
Lassouli mentioned that while the trash will be picked up, there’s no guarantee that more illegal dumping won’t happen soon after. He pointed out that it’s hard to keep places like the Ring Road and Vilvoordselaan clean because there are no cameras and not much community watch, so dumping often happens at night. Jeroen Tiebout, a local official, expressed frustration that the waste has been there for a long time. Residents are asking for something to be done, but he mentioned that they can’t take action since it’s not their area. If it were on their land, they would clean it up quickly, as messy areas tend to attract more trash.
Residents are encouraged to report illegal dumping through apps like Fix My Street to help authorities respond more quickly. Local officials also highlight the need for community involvement, as having more people watch the area can help prevent illegal dumping.
