Where can I find a place to recycle glass in th centre of Brussels, near Grand Place?


I have just moved to Brssels and am living near Grand Place in the centre o Brussels, but I am unsure as to where t sind a bottle bank. Bottles are building up in my flat. Does anyone know what teh situation here is?

Also with paper recycling.

When entering the address in the website of "Net Brussel" (http://www.netbrussel.be/Content/WebLoui... if found that there really aren't a lot of "bottle banks" near you. You can check it out yourself (see below). Interesting words to know are : Grand place = grote markt and bottle bank = glasbol.
Apparently the paper gets collected once a week in yellow bags. These yellow bags can be bought at the same place where you buy the official garbage bags.
Keep an eye on the street to know when they collect what or ask your neigbourgs.
And make sure that you don't throw away the botlles which have a refund ("statiegeld" in Dutch)...

There should be 'glassballs' in the vicinity (there are more than 1000 throughout the city), though I don't know where exactly.

There are 2 recyclingcenters accepting glass and paper.

On the south side : Brits Tweede Legerlaan 676 (close to Humaniteitslaan) in 1190 Brussel (British Second Army Ave. close by Humanity Ave.)

North side : Rupelstreet (close by Van Praetbrug, near the canal) in 1000 Brussel

You won't find bottle banks to close by touristic attractions and also because of safety regulations.
Ask the garbage men, the paper gets picked up in a carton box separated from the other garbage.
