- Burgemeester Reekmans kondigt bijna 1.000 euro boete aan
- 90 procent sluikstorters komt niet lokaal
- Gemeente Glabbeek bestrijdt sluikstorten actief

Burgemeester Peter Reekmans (Dorpspartij) has confirmed that the individual responsible faces a hefty fine of nearly 1,000 euros. Interestingly, he also revealed that about 90 percent of illegal dumpers in Glabbeek are not from the municipality itself. How can the town better protect itself from these outside offenders? And what measures will be taken to prevent future incidents?
These questions highlight the ongoing challenge of maintaining cleanliness and safety in Glabbeek, leading to a deeper look into the issue and its local impact.
Why does illegal dumping continue despite strict fines? The recent case raises key points for consideration:
- Accountability is increasing as offenders are identified through discarded information.
- External perpetrators make up the majority, complicating local enforcement efforts.
- Fines approaching €1,000 serve as a deterrent but may not fully stop repeat offenses.
Addressing these challenges requires community vigilance and coordinated action between municipalities.
Moving forward, Glabbeek’s residents and officials must collaborate to enhance monitoring and reporting systems. Are current penalties enough to discourage illegal dumping, or should additional preventive measures be introduced? The community’s active participation will be crucial in preserving the municipality’s environment.
