STIB stopped sorting garbage after terror attacks

(Brussels Times) Since the terror attacks in Paris and Brussels, many garbage containers with compartments for sorting have been replaced by single bags for residual waste at STIB stations.

“Just now that sorting is so high on the agenda, STIB does not provide for it in its stations,” said MP Aurelie Czekalski, adding that the railway company SNCB does provide the sorting garbage containers with four different bags in its stations, reports DHnet.

“The security measures are the same for everyone, so if SNCB can do it, STIB should also strive for that,” she added.

“As a result of the attacks, and in order to promote security, the sorting bins were exchanged for bins by Vigipirate, with transparent bags,” said Elke Van den Brandt.
