The Midi Fair will be held from 17 July to 22 August 2010 along the Boulevard du Midi in Brussels. The event will of course lead to a mountain of garbage.

Garbage cans and containers

The Cleanliness service of the City provides:

• 60 bins every 10 meters
• 15 containers
• 6 street sweepers and a team leader (7 days a week, 5 hours per day)

Cleaning the site

The service will be cleaning the site every day before the start of the fair. It makes use of a dust cart, an extractor and street sweepers.

Permit for outdoor cafes

Part of the waste comes from traders in the vicinity of the fair. The authorizations for the outdoor cafes should therefore meet some requirements:

• any lack of cleanliness leads to the elimination of the permit
• a contract for the disposal of used oil
• each table on the outdoor cafe must have an ashtray
• have a contract with the regional agency Bruxelles Propreté, or a similar contract for professional collection of waste

If any of these rules are not respected, the permit will be withdrawn.
