Put out your bags

In which municipalities will the white bags now only be collected once a week?

Uccle, Watermael-Boitsfort, Auderghem, Woluwe-Saint-Pierre, Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, Evere, Jette, Ganshoren, Koekelberg, Berchem-Sainte-Agathe, Haren and Neder-over-Heembeek.

All the other municipalities will continue to have their white bags collected twice a week.

The municipalities where the general system (zone 1) involves the collection of white bags once a week include some areas bordering on municipalities where white bags are collected twice a week. In these border areas, the collection of white bags (for operational reasons related to the division of municipalities) may take place twice a week. 
Conversely, some municipalities where white bags are collected twice a week may have areas bordering on municipalities where they are collected once a week. For the reasons explained above, white bags may be collected once a week in these areas.
These two cases are exceptions to the general model (zone 1) which applies in the municipality, and only relate to a small number of streets.
 
The bag calendars are available here.
