Brussels (Eurotoday): Interza and Incovo are experiencing waste collection delays due to snow in Kampenhout, Zaventem, Meise, and Vilvoorde. Residents should keep waste inside. A national strike may worsen the delays.
Waste collection by Interza and Incovo faced major issues today, January 9, because of heavy snow. The collection teams tried to work, but the roads were too slippery and covered in snow, making it hard to reach some neighborhoods. With freezing temperatures expected tonight, road conditions could get worse, leading to more delays or missed collections tomorrow. Interza serves areas like Kampenhout and Zaventem, while Incovo covers places like Meise and Vilvoorde. Both companies are watching the weather closely to make any necessary changes to their plans.
How are Interza and Incovo handling waste collection disruptions?
Residents whose waste was not collected on 9 January are being asked to bring it back inside to keep the streets clear and avoid further problems. Both Interza and Incovo are working on updates about when they can catch up on collections. They appreciate everyone’s understanding and patience as they handle these weather issues. They mentioned that with the freezing temperatures and icy roads, keeping workers and equipment safe is their main focus while trying to restore waste collection in all affected areas.
The companies will inform the public about any catch-up collection plans as soon as they can, depending on the weather and their operations. It has been said that the situation may get worse with a national strike planned for next Monday, which could further disrupt waste collection in the blank”>areas. This strike is to cause delays, cancellations, or a reduction in services, adding to the backlog from the recent snowfall. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through updates from Interza and Incovo. Despite the difficulties posed by the weather and the strike, the companies are committed to restoring services quickly while ensuring the safety of their teams and local communities.
