Vendredi, les services r\u00e9gionaux et municipaux d'assainissement ont ramass\u00e9 5,5 tonnes de d\u00e9chets aux abords de la Gare du Nord de Bruxelles, un lieu tristement c\u00e9l\u00e8bre pour ses d\u00e9tritus, ses d\u00e9charges sauvages et ses d\u00e9bris jonchant la voie publique. Cela \u00e9quivaut \u00e0 la quantit\u00e9 de d\u00e9chets qu'une famille belge moyenne produirait en dix \u00e0 douze ans environ.<\/p>\n

La quantit\u00e9 de d\u00e9chets ramass\u00e9s met imm\u00e9diatement en \u00e9vidence la gravit\u00e9 des probl\u00e8mes aux abords de la gare du Nord. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 cette op\u00e9ration de nettoyage coordonn\u00e9e, la R\u00e9gion bruxelloise et les communes de Schaerbeek et de Saint-Josse-ten-Node esp\u00e8rent renforcer la coop\u00e9ration au sein du quartier afin d'am\u00e9liorer durablement la propret\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Probl\u00e8me structurel<\/h4>\n

Au total, plus de 40 employ\u00e9s ont particip\u00e9 \u00e0 cette op\u00e9ration de nettoyage, dont la moiti\u00e9 travaillait pour Net Brussel, l'agence r\u00e9gionale officielle charg\u00e9e de la propret\u00e9 de la R\u00e9gion de Bruxelles-Capitale.<\/p>\n

Les grandes gares sales ne sont certes pas un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne exclusivement belge, mais la situation \u00e0 Bruxelles-Nord \u2014 d\u00e9chets, d\u00e9p\u00f4ts sauvages, nuisances li\u00e9es \u00e0 la drogue, sans-abri, probl\u00e8mes de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 pour les \u00e9quipes de nettoyage et fragmentation des responsabilit\u00e9s \u2014 est particuli\u00e8rement difficile. Un mois plus t\u00f4t, une op\u00e9ration similaire men\u00e9e \u00e0 Bruxelles-Midi avait permis de collecter 4 990 kg de d\u00e9chets, ce qui laisse fortement supposer l'existence d'un probl\u00e8me structurel.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 titre de comparaison, la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 ferroviaire NMBS\/SNCB a collect\u00e9 environ 3 100 tonnes de d\u00e9chets dans l\u2019ensemble des gares belges au cours de l\u2019ann\u00e9e 2025, auxquelles s\u2019ajoutent environ 900 tonnes collect\u00e9es \u00e0 bord des trains. La gestion des d\u00e9chets pour l\u2019ensemble des activit\u00e9s de la NMBS\/SNCB a co\u00fbt\u00e9 3,2 millions d\u2019euros. Ainsi, ces 5,6 tonnes, soit l'\u00e9quivalent d'un chargement complet d'un grand camion-poubelle lourd, ne peuvent raisonnablement \u00eatre compar\u00e9es directement au chiffre national de la NMBS\/SNCB, mais elles illustrent bien la distinction entre les d\u00e9chets ferroviaires habituels et le probl\u00e8me plus g\u00e9n\u00e9ral des quartiers.<\/p>\n

Un probl\u00e8me de gestion plus profond\u00e9ment enracin\u00e9<\/h4>\n

Car m\u00eame s\u2019il existe d\u00e9sormais un nouveau plan pour la gare \u2013 un plan qui, par exemple, met davantage l\u2019accent sur la propret\u00e9, l\u2019installation de 60 cam\u00e9ras suppl\u00e9mentaires et le renforcement des effectifs des services publics et de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 \u2013, les probl\u00e8mes li\u00e9s \u00e0 la gare de Bruxelles-Nord r\u00e9v\u00e8lent un probl\u00e8me de gestion plus profond\u00e9ment enracin\u00e9. Il ne s\u2019agit pas d\u2019un incident isol\u00e9, mais plut\u00f4t d\u2019une convergence entre la fragmentation administrative, les pressions sociales et les d\u00e9cisions en mati\u00e8re d\u2019infrastructures.<\/p>\n

Autre point important : Bruxelles continue de recourir largement au d\u00e9p\u00f4t de sacs poubelles dans la rue plut\u00f4t qu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019utilisation de conteneurs souterrains. Combin\u00e9 \u00e0 une forte densit\u00e9 de population et \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sence de nombreux appartements, cela conduit rapidement \u00e0 des d\u00e9p\u00f4ts sauvages ou \u00e0 des d\u00e9chets jonchant la voie publique.<\/p>\n

La r\u00e9pression et la surveillance des d\u00e9versements ill\u00e9gaux sont souvent insuffisantes dans ces zones de transit, o\u00f9 se trouvent \u00e9galement des sans-abri, des migrants en transit et des personnes souffrant d'addiction, car il est difficile d'identifier les pollueurs.<\/p>\n

La fragmentation, mais\u2026<\/h4>\n

Par ailleurs, Bruxelles est loin d'\u00eatre une exception en mati\u00e8re de d\u00e9chets dans les gares. Les grandes gares m\u00e9tropolitaines du monde entier, telles que Paris-Nord, Rome Termini et Francfort Hauptbahnhof, sont confront\u00e9es aux m\u00eames d\u00e9fis : probl\u00e8mes sociaux, forte affluence et pression accrue sur la propret\u00e9 et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 publiques.<\/p>\n

Ce qui rend Bruxelles exceptionnelle, cependant, ce sont les importantes frictions administratives. Par exemple, les rues r\u00e9gionales rel\u00e8vent de la comp\u00e9tence de l\u2019agence r\u00e9gionale Net Brussels, tandis que les communes assurent l\u2019entretien des rues municipales par le biais de leurs propres services. Cette fragmentation entra\u00eene r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement des conflits de comp\u00e9tence \u2013 \u201c Qui s\u2019occupe de quoi ? \u201d \u2013 et un manque d\u2019uniformit\u00e9 dans l\u2019application des r\u00e8gles.<\/p>\n

M\u00eame si ce dernier point est lui aussi relatif. Sur le plan de la structure administrative, Londres pr\u00e9sente une ressemblance surprenante avec Bruxelles : le Grand Londres est divis\u00e9 en 32 arrondissements (conseils locaux), auxquels s'ajoute la City de Londres.<\/p>\n

Chaque arrondissement, comme Westminster, Camden ou Kensington & Chelsea, dispose de sa propre politique et de ses propres r\u00e8gles en mati\u00e8re de gestion des d\u00e9chets, et confie la collecte des d\u00e9chets \u00e0 des entreprises priv\u00e9es, telles que Veolia ou Biffa.<\/p>\n

Malgr\u00e9 cette fragmentation, Londres semble souvent plus propre que Bruxelles. Dans le centre tr\u00e8s anim\u00e9 de Londres, le nettoyage des rues est extr\u00eamement intensif. Dans les rues commer\u00e7antes les plus fr\u00e9quent\u00e9es, les balayeuses et les camions de nettoyage circulent sans interruption, 24 heures sur 24, 7 jours sur 7. Les sacs poubelles d\u00e9pos\u00e9s devant les commerces sont ramass\u00e9s en l\u2019espace de quelques heures.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 Londres, les magasins, les restaurants et les bureaux doivent \u00e9galement souscrire des contrats priv\u00e9s co\u00fbteux pour la gestion de leurs d\u00e9chets. Les entreprises se voient attribuer des cr\u00e9neaux horaires pr\u00e9cis \u2013 parfois aussi courts qu\u2019une \u00e0 deux heures par jour \u2013 pendant lesquels elles peuvent d\u00e9poser leurs d\u00e9chets dans la rue. Si elles les sortent trop t\u00f4t, elles s\u2019exposent imm\u00e9diatement \u00e0 de lourdes amendes.<\/p>\n

La plupart des arrondissements londoniens s'appuient \u00e9galement fortement sur des agents charg\u00e9s de faire respecter la r\u00e9glementation. \u00c0 Londres, jeter un m\u00e9got de cigarette ou une canette dans la rue entra\u00eene une amende imm\u00e9diate comprise entre 150 et 400 livres sterling. Le risque \u00e9lev\u00e9 de se faire prendre et la lourde sanction financi\u00e8re constituent un moyen de dissuasion plus efficace qu'\u00e0 Bruxelles.<\/p>\n

Quatre poubelles vid\u00e9es chaque jour \u00e0 la gare centrale de Francfort (Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof)<\/h4>\n

Et si l'on s'int\u00e9resse plus particuli\u00e8rement aux abords de la gare, le quartier de la gare centrale de Francfort (Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof) est confront\u00e9 \u00e0 une situation similaire \u00e0 celle de Bruxelles, avec un march\u00e9 de la drogue \u00e0 ciel ouvert, des personnes vuln\u00e9rables, des d\u00e9chets sauvages et des probl\u00e8mes de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 au travail.<\/p>\n

Environ 25 agents de propret\u00e9 municipaux y travaillent de 4 h 30 \u00e0 19 h, ramassant chaque jour entre 7 et 10 m\u00b3 de d\u00e9chets dans les rues. Environ 160 poubelles sont vid\u00e9es jusqu\u2019\u00e0 quatre fois par jour. Des \u00e9quipes sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9es ramassent le mat\u00e9riel li\u00e9 \u00e0 la consommation de drogue, des camions-citernes neutralisent les odeurs d\u2019urine et de mati\u00e8res f\u00e9cales, et les \u00e9quipes de nettoyage travaillent dans certaines rues sous escorte polici\u00e8re.\"\"<\/p>\n

Des sanctions plus s\u00e9v\u00e8res<\/h4>\n

Mais attention : tant au niveau communal qu\u2019au niveau de la R\u00e9gion bruxelloise, les sanctions et amendes ont r\u00e9cemment \u00e9t\u00e9 consid\u00e9rablement alourdies afin de dissuader les d\u00e9p\u00f4ts sauvages.<\/p>\n

Depuis le mois d'ao\u00fbt, la Ville de Bruxelles, entre autres, a consid\u00e9rablement doubl\u00e9 le montant des amendes pour les infractions environnementales. L'amende pour d\u00e9p\u00f4t ill\u00e9gal de d\u00e9chets ordinaires ou d'encombrants a doubl\u00e9, passant de 500 \u00e0 1 000 euros par m\u00b3, tout comme celle applicable aux d\u00e9chets de chantier et aux d\u00e9chets dangereux (de 1 000 \u00e0 2 000 euros par m\u00b3).<\/p>\n

Toute personne qui utilise des sacs poubelles non conformes ou qui les sort trop t\u00f4t devra d\u00e9sormais s'acquitter d'une amende de 400 \u20ac par sac au lieu de 200 \u20ac. Uriner en public est d\u00e9sormais passible d'une amende de 400 \u20ac, et l'amende pour les graffitis a \u00e9t\u00e9 fix\u00e9e \u00e0 1 000 \u20ac par m\u00b2.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 Saint-Josse, ces amendes ne sont pas tr\u00e8s \u00e9lev\u00e9es, mais il faut tenir compte du fait que, avec un revenu imposable net moyen bien inf\u00e9rieur \u00e0 la moyenne nationale, c'est la commune la plus pauvre de Belgique. La commune ne dispose tout simplement pas des recettes fiscales ni du budget n\u00e9cessaires pour d\u00e9ployer une arm\u00e9e d'agents de nettoyage, comme le font, par exemple, le riche arrondissement de Westminster \u00e0 Londres ou Francfort.<\/p>\n

En cons\u00e9quence, la commune se trouve confront\u00e9e \u00e0 une t\u00e2che quasi impossible. Les imp\u00f4ts locaux ne suffisent pas \u00e0 lutter contre la pollution autour de la gare du Nord \u2013 la deuxi\u00e8me gare la plus fr\u00e9quent\u00e9e du pays, dont une partie se trouve sur le territoire de Schaerbeek \u2013, qui est en grande partie caus\u00e9e par des personnes qui ne vivent pas \u00e0 Saint-Josse et n\u2019y paient pas d\u2019imp\u00f4ts (navetteurs, visiteurs, migrants de transit et \u201c touristes des d\u00e9chets \u201d).<\/p>\n

La volont\u00e9 est l\u00e0<\/h4>\n

Quoi qu\u2019il en soit, la secr\u00e9taire d\u2019\u00c9tat bruxelloise charg\u00e9e de la propret\u00e9 publique, Audrey Henry (MR), a qualifi\u00e9 la campagne de nettoyage de vendredi de \u00ab grand succ\u00e8s \u00bb. Selon Mme Henry, cette campagne t\u00e9moigne \u00e9galement de l\u2019engagement du Gouvernement r\u00e9gional de Bruxelles \u00e0 s\u2019attaquer aux probl\u00e8mes du quartier et \u00e0 lui redonner une propret\u00e9 durable.<\/p>\n

Il esp\u00e8re que cette initiative conjointe permettra de \u201c renforcer la coop\u00e9ration avec les acteurs de terrain, afin que les interventions soient mieux harmonis\u00e9es et men\u00e9es de mani\u00e8re coordonn\u00e9e, et que les efforts de d\u00e9pollution puissent \u00eatre institutionnalis\u00e9s \u00e0 long terme \u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c Pr\u00e8s de 60 000 personnes transitent chaque jour par la gare du Nord. Cela \u00e9quivaut \u00e0 un stade Roi Baudouin plein \u00e0 craquer lors d\u2019une soir\u00e9e de concert. Mais il s\u2019agit ici de travailleurs, de navetteurs, de familles et de voyageurs : tout Bruxelles passe par l\u00e0 \u201d, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 l\u2019ancien bourgmestre de Schaerbeek. \u201c Toutes les parties prenantes s'engagent \u00e0 veiller \u00e0 ce que cette gare reste propre \u2013 pas seulement aujourd'hui, mais \u00e0 partir d'aujourd'hui. \u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
