The cleaning was possible within the district contract Maison Rouge, which fights against illegal dumping. The Jubilee Bridge [plan], on the border between Molenbeek and Brussels, is a favorite place for illegal dumping.

Cleaning action

The City of Brussels is working together with the commune of Molenbeek on a plan to clean up the site. The action plan includes:

• an adjustment of the bridge, so that parking and illegal dumping get harder
• actions to catch persons in the act of illegal dumping
• actions to sensitize residents
• systematic cleanup

In total, 140 tons of waste will be collected. In June, volunteers already took away 20 tons of waste. The City of Brussels collected 40 tons on 15 July 2010. Thus, a number of organizations can plan events on the site this summer.
