Young volunteers clean the banks of the Hain river in Braine-le-Château as part of the 'Hain propre' operation.

A cleanup operation named 'Hain propre' successfully removed over 400kg of waste from the banks of the Hain river in Braine-le-Château, thanks to the initiative of young volunteers.

As part of the 'Hain propre' operation, young people from the association 'Bouge ta Ville' mobilized to clean the banks of the Hain river in Braine-le-Château. The initiative, logistically supported by the Contrat de Rivière Senne (Senne River Contract), took place on a Saturday in September.
The cleanup afternoon resulted in the collection of over 400kg of waste. Among the collected debris were wipes, metals, plastics, some small electrical items, and even a motorcycle frame.

Our rivers are not your trash cans! They deserve better than this!

The Contrat de Rivière Senne expressed its thanks to the team of young volunteers for their dynamism, as well as to BeWaPP for the provided equipment and the Commune of Braine-le-Château for its support of the event.
