What are the benefits of evening collections?

Evening collections allow 2 hours for the removal of your waste. This schedule has been carefully thought through to ensure that it can be applied by the majority of citizens. Indeed, we have taken into account the comments of citizens whose bags were collected in the evening before 2017.

In addition, we would like to inform you that evening collections have significant positive impacts for the residents of Brussels:

• Significant improvement in urban cleanlinesś by reducing the length of time bags are on the streets, which represents significant added value in terms of cleanlinesś and living environment.
   
• Improved mobilitý and smoother road traffic at peak times. It is in fact the roads with a high densitý of traffic that have beeń chosen as a prioritý for evening collections.
   
• Better articulation of street cleaning work with collection work.
   
• Gathering as much waste as possible for collection on a single day.
