Bonus for a compost bin

Premie voor een compostbak

The City of Brussels grants its residents a premium for a compost bin (barrel, silo, compost bin, worm compost bin, bokashi,...).

Since May 2023, sorting bio-waste has been compulsory in the Brussels Capital Region. Home composting is an alternative or complement to the orange bag. This is how you turn your organic waste into a raw material, a good-quality compost that you can then use.

More info:

  • The premium is granted to any natural person (citizen) or legal entity under private law (company, non-profit association,...) who has purchased a compost bin
  • The person applying for the premium must be domiciled on the territory of the City of Brussels
  • The amount of the municipal premium is set at 100% of the purchase price with a maximum of 100 euros per compost bin and per household

The premium does not apply to tools for making compost such as an aeration stick, sieve, shovel or fork. The shipping costs of the compost bin are not eligible for the calculation of the municipal premium.

In the case of the purchase of a bokashi system, the premium applies to the purchase of a starter kit.

In the case of the purchase of a worm compost bin, the premium applies to the purchase of compost worms.

Complete the municipal premium application form (792.04 KB) and send it, along with the required documents, to urb.primes@brucity.be within 3 months of purchasing the compost bin.

  • Copy of the receipt showing the items or the invoice in the name of the premium applicant
  • Details on the chip of the applicant's electronic identity card
