Litter and illegal dumping are more than just an eyesore; they require significant time and resources for cleanup and have a major environmental impact. In collaboration with Mooimakers and the local police, Tremelo is stepping up controls and enforcement. Citizens who leave waste inappropriately may be addressed, and violations can result in fines.
Beyond enforcement, prevention is also a key focus. During the Week of Enforcement, information and awareness campaigns aim to prevent waste from ending up on the streets. By engaging with citizens and clarifying what is and isn't permissible, the municipality seeks to contribute to a cleaner streetscape.
Residents can also play a vital role by disposing of waste correctly, holding onto it until a bin is available, or by calmly addressing individuals who litter. These simple actions help maintain tidy streets and neighborhoods.
The Week of Enforcement runs from October 5th to 11th. However, attention to litter and illegal dumping remains important thereafter, as a clean environment benefits everyone.
