Police officer inspects illegally dumped waste on the roadside.

The KASTZE police zone is intensifying its fight against illegal dumping and litter in October with extra checks at known problem locations in Kampenhout.

Throughout the month of October, the KASTZE police zone will pay extra attention to combating illegal dumping and litter. Targeted checks will be carried out at locations where this problem frequently occurs, and offenders will be dealt with strictly.
Despite efforts such as door-to-door collections, the recycling center, and the involvement of volunteers, leaving waste in public places, along roadsides, and in nature reserves remains a persistent issue. This litter not only spoils the streetscape but also causes ecological damage and incurs cleanup costs borne by the community.
Anyone caught leaving waste in a prohibited area risks a municipal administrative sanction (GAS fine) of up to € 500. Citizens who notice illegal dumping are encouraged to report it via the Interza website.
