Garbage bags in several Brussels communes remained on the streets once again after consultations saw staff starting too late to complete their routes.
The municipality of Jette has been hardest hit, with only 15% of blue bags collected there, but white bags were collected, Bruzz reports. The municipalities of Anderlecht, Ganshoren, Jette, Koekelberg, Molenbeek, Evere, Woluwe-Saint-Lambert and Woluwe-Saint-Pierre also had bags uncollected.
