Sorting bio-waste with a view to its recovery becomes compulsory in the south of the country from January 1, reports the Walloon Public Service (SPW) on its website.
For most individuals, the implementation of this obligation will not, however, lead to any change since the vast majority of Walloon municipalities have already implemented separate management of this type of waste for households.
By biodegradable organic waste we mean the remains of fruits and vegetables (including woody parts, dried fruits and stones); eggshells; kitchen waste and leftover food (raw and cooked, but cold) by eliminating excess liquids; rice, bread, biscuits, pasta and starchy foods; spoiled food without packaging; coffee grounds and tea filters and other infusion drinks; used paper towels, napkins and tissues; and biodegradable litter for small pets.
On the other hand, oils and liquids should be avoided; pieces of meat, fish, shellfish, mussels, shellfish, bones in large quantities; plastics and packaging (such as yogurt pots, mozzarella bags, cold meat wrappers, oiled, plasticized or aluminum paper, etc.); cigarette butts and ashes; powders or other cleaning products; chemical products ; diapers; dog droppings; and plant waste (mowing, leaves, pruning waste, etc.).
Depending on the area, several options are available to individuals: door-to-door collection of organic waste, depositing it in voluntary drop-off points or recycling parks, or even composting at home or in your neighborhood.
Citizens are invited to consult the website of their municipality and/or their intermunicipal waste management company.
