Can someone give me the TLDR on sorting trash in Brussels?
Only the bag color matters since it's the only thing that you have to put out on the streets.
Yellow for paper and cardboard
Blue is a tricky one but makes sense on a recycling PoV. It's for aluminum and plastic. So cans and plastic bottles. The transparent film around packaging (blister) goes there as well.
Orange is not mandatory but can hold all your organic waste, skins and peels from fruit and vegetables goes there.
Everything else goes to White, except potentially harmful waste (ex: glass, lightbulb, batteries,...) which have their own recycling streams.
