Bruxelles-Propreté

Christmas tree collection

06/01/2020

In 2020, as in previous years, Christmas trees will be collected at the same time as garden waste. To find out the days for collecting garden waste, residents can download their collection calendar from www.bruxelles-proprete.be or consult the Recycle app!

Bruxelles-Propreté asks Brussels residents to remove the pot and all decorations. The wooden cross must not be removed.

The trees will be sent to Bruxelles-Compost for recycling into compost which, due to its high acidity, will be mixed with compost from other origins. Note, however, that fir compost is particularly suitable for flowering shrubs such as rhododendron, which needs acidity to "express itself".

This is a collection not to be missed: the obligation to sort waste also applies to Christmas trees!

Please note: an artificial Christmas tree is not compostable, it is considered a bulky household item and must be brought to Recypark.

Low disruptions to the collection of bags from Bruxelles-Propreté on this Friday, 13 December 2019

13/12/2019

This Friday, December 13th marks an improvement in the situation of garbage bag collection. Some of the teams that were taking actions to slow down their work returned to work normally.

However, the collection of yellow bags remains disrupted this Friday in the municipality of Ganshoren (80% of the collections were carried out), and to a certain extent in the municipalities of Jette, Koekelberg, Molenbeek and Laeken. White bag collections on Saturday, December 14 will be maintained. Some teams will catch-up as much as possible this Friday afternoon as well as on Saturday and Sunday. As a reminder, the majority of teams carry out their missions normally. Residents whose bags have not been collected are invited, as far as possible, to bring their bags inside until the next collection.

Aware of the difficulties encountered by the inhabitants of certain districts, the General Manager of Bruxelles-Propreté apologies for these disruptions beyond their control.
