A pleasant, clean, and welcoming town center requires constant attention. In Gembloux, five agents are deployed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the cleaning of the town center and the station's vicinity. This team works directly in the streets and public spaces to collect waste, clean areas as needed, and respond quickly to specific requirements.
Highly frequented areas such as the town center, shopping streets, and the station surroundings necessitate regular maintenance. Agents frequently encounter various incivilities, including abandoned waste, illegal dumping, and domestic trash left in public bins, requiring additional daily interventions.
To enhance the agents' efficiency, the City recently acquired a new Glutton machine, used for the rapid collection of small waste, especially in busy areas. This setup aims to maintain a clean and welcoming public space while enabling agents to intervene effectively.
Cleanliness is a crucial element of the living environment, often noticed only when it is lacking. The ground work by the agents, who cover various sectors, ensures clean streets and pleasant public spaces. Their presence also allows for rapid problem identification and intervention adaptation.
While the work of the municipal teams is essential, everyone can contribute to keeping Gembloux clean. Simple actions like using trash bins, not abandoning waste, or disposing of cigarette butts in designated areas make a real difference.
