Are you going to develop more sorting areas or underground containers?

Twenty projects are in the pipeline. However, the widespread use of this collection method is not on the agenda for a number of reasons:

• the quality of sorting from underground containers is still subject to improvement (studies previously carried out by Fost on the underground systems of various inter-municipal companies show a lower quality of sorting than for door-to-door collection)
• it does not solve the problem of public cleanliness (illegal dumping is very frequently observed around underground containers)
• it's not always possible, or desirable, to bury containers in the ground, for reasons of clutter or preservation of the Brussels subsoil and public space.
