Official launch of the clean.brussels strategy
This Tuesday 29/11/2022, the clean.brussels strategy for urban cleanliness, adopted by the Brussels Government on 10/11/2022, is to be unveiled at a press conference in the presence of Minister Alain Maron. clean.brussels is a new approach to managing the cleanliness of Brussels Region streets. It is the result of two years of co-design and the start of a regional strategic plan that identifies 14 objectives, divided among three families of public stakeholders – the public authorities, citizens and companies – and 65 practical measures. It is a strategy for a cleaner Region in the long term.
For this occasion, the Region, Bruxelles-Propreté and the 19 municipalities have highlighted the problems caused by littering and illegal dumping. They filled two 8 m³ cubes with waste, to represent the volume of litter and illegal dumping abandoned every hour in the Brussels Region’s public space. Moreover, they showed the solutions that clean.brussels will harness to tackle these problems, with an impressive fleet of vehicles, equipment and teams from Bruxelles-Propreté and the cleaning services of Ixelles municipality. Gathered on the Place Sainte-Croix, they demonstrated the range of resources available to the cleaning teams and their hard work. They also served as a reminder to people that our streets’ cleanliness is everyone’s responsibility: public authorities, companies and citizens. This is the starting point for a new approach to urban cleanliness in the Brussels Region. To find out more, download here the clean.brussels strategy.
