A video has been circulating on Anderlecht social networks for a few days, we see a huge pile of canisters of nitrous oxide, a laughing gas. The man filming explains that this stock only concerns what was recovered in the streets of Cureghem in a few days.

“It’s totally full of false information,” denies the alderman in charge of Cleanliness, Allan Neuzy (Ecolo). “This stock is the stock of the entire municipality of Anderlecht, not just Cureghem and it is located in the Vaillance district. It brings together all the canisters collected in public spaces throughout the municipality for 5 months. 5,000 canisters are stored there securely. These canisters cause serious problems if they are not disposed of properly.” Whether you are a user or find them on the street, the instructions remain not to put them in white bins or municipal bins. They can, at the end of the chain, explode during their passage through the waste incinerator.

In Anderlecht, those who want to drop them off somewhere are invited to do so at Recypark Sud, in Forest. The municipality hopes that the recypark under construction on Quai Demets will soon be operational so that Anderlecht residents will have a closer drop-off point. For those stored on the municipal site, a contract is being concluded for the removal and treatment of specific waste which requires secure transport.

The alderman also wants to warn the author of the video: “No one has given permission to film on this private (communal) land. It is not because the gate of the depot is open that everyone can enter.”
