From October 5 to 11, the Enforcement Week is taking place. In Ieper, extra attention is being paid to a clean public space and the correct presentation of waste. During this week, there will be increased checks on litter, illegal dumping, and improperly presented waste.
Correct sorting is crucial for recycling materials and keeping the city tidy. The sorting rules from IVVO for Ieper provide guidance for the correct waste streams. Presenting non-compliant household waste bags, placing waste next to glass banks, or offering waste incorrectly is considered illegal dumping and can result in a fine.
Cigarette butts are the most common form of litter and contain harmful substances. Smokers are advised to carry a portable ashtray. During the Enforcement Week, this will be a focus, with enforcement officers addressing offenders and taking action where necessary.
Those who do not follow the rules risk a GAS fine. A clean city is a shared responsibility, with everyone contributing to a pleasant living environment by sorting and presenting waste correctly.
More information on the sorting rules for Ieper can be found on the IVVO website.
