What are the benefits of reducing the frequency of white bag collection?

The collective benefits of the changes to the calendar relate to the environment and public cleanliness, of course.

At regional level, the new calendar, combined with the rules on sorting food waste, will lead to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, which will help achieve the objectives of the Brussels Region’s Air, Climate and Energy Plan.

Fewer trucks on our roads also helps to avoid traffic congestion, which again means a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
