Flemish Brabant, created in 1995 when the former province of Brabant was split, surrounds the Brussels-Capital Region, and that shapes most of the clearances we do there.
Around Brussels, from Zaventem to Asse by way of Dilbeek, Grimbergen and Vilvoorde, the periphery is home to commuters, bilingual families and expats employed in the capital or at the airport. When they move abroad again, a house or flat often has to be cleared at short notice, sometimes after they have already left, before the check-out inspection. Sterrebeek and Nossegem have villas with garages, Strombeek-Bever and Zellik a mix of flats and terraces, and Vilvoorde new apartments on old canal-side industrial land. Leuven, the provincial capital, has a rhythm of its own: student rooms and studios that empty at the end of the academic year, old townhouses in the centre and detached houses in Heverlee. To the east, around Tienen, there are period homes near the sugar refinery and farms in the Hageland. For waste, residents rely on EcoWerf in the Leuven district and around Tienen, Incovo north of Brussels and Haviland to the west, while Halle and Zaventem run their own municipal recycling parks. These parks are for residents: Sparkling Services takes nothing there and uses licensed processing channels, after reusable items have been donated. The official language is Dutch, with six municipalities around Brussels offering language facilities to French speakers; we work just as easily in English, Dutch or French and, being based in Brussels, we can be on site quickly.
- The province surrounds Brussels: many clearances follow the departure of expats or commuters.
- Three intercommunales (EcoWerf, Incovo, Haviland) and municipal parks in Halle and Zaventem serve residents.
- In Leuven, the end of the academic year frees up many student rooms and studios within a few weeks.
- Based in Brussels, we reach the periphery quickly and work in English, Dutch and French.
