From 20 to 29 April 2010, 4 actions took place around the Louise district [plan]. They were aimed at:

• garbage bags that are placed outside the permitted hours
• illegal dumping
• small pollutions from the public space

Both municipalities are eager to demonstrate that the residents do not suffer from municipal boundaries. Moreover, the actions have to make it clear to offenders that there is no zone in which breaches of cleanliness are allowed. The action includes a Taskforce for the Louise quarter and is part of the fight against incivilities.

The Task Force consists of:

• the Agency Clean Brussels for cleaning the streets
• the STIB for the maintenance of the tramway
• the AED (Brussels Mobility) for the roads and tunnels

160 taxes

The four joint actions led to 160 taxes (fines):

• 113 for the City of Brussels
• 47 for Ixelles

42 people participated in the action. A total of 4 tons of waste was collected.
