Become Cleaners for a day

Do you want to play an active part in making the Brussels‑Capital Region and your local area a cleaner and more pleasant place to live? As a group or organisation (charity, school, citizen group, etc.),you are free to carry out and organise clean‑ups in your neighbourhood. 

We’ll provide all the supplies you need for a successful clean‑up!

Organise a clean-up

How do I organise a clean‑up?

To help you easily organise your clean-up, we’ve provided a form for you to complete online. It’s easy: simply select your target area, and your chosen date and time. 
A Bruxelles‑Propreté employee will then get in touch.

What’s a clean-up kit?  

Our kits are designed to allow you to work comfortably, efficiently and safely.  
 

Ambassadors receive free kits which they can collect locally. For larger scale clean-up initiatives, Bruxelles-Propreté provides kits to charities, schools and citizen groups. 

Each kit includes: 

  • A clean-up vest
  • A roll of bags for non-recyclables (white) 
  • A roll of PMC bags for recyclables (blue) 
  • Litter pickers 
  • A pair of gloves 
  • A digital scale 

You can request up to 50 vests and 16 litter pickers.

Clean-up best practice

How to organise a clean-up: 

  • You organise a clean-up via our platform: 
  1. Select the area, date and time of the clean‑up 
  2. Select the number of participants 
  • You’ll receive a confirmation email with further information.  
  • You can collect the clean-up supplies that have been loaned to you from the Bruxelles‑Propreté office reception (12 avenue de Broqueville, 1150 Woluwe‑Saint‑Pierre). 
  • After the clean-up, leave the bags at the agreed location. After the clean‑up, return the supplies (in good condition) to Bruxelles-Propreté, within two working days. (Please contact us if you need to borrow the supplies for longer).

For events with more than 10 participants, a municipal authorisation may be required for organising an event in public space. Please consult our dedicated page to check which procedures apply in the municipality concerned.

Need help with your clean-up?

Brussels-Propreté awareness-raisers can support you in the field! They come to help you supervise your action: they bring the equipment, re-explain the sorting rules and answer all your questions for an even more effective clean-up. They do not participate directly in the collection, but they inform the residents of the streets cleaned about your initiative.
 
Enough to make your citizen mobilization shine even more!
