Illegal collections

Illegal collections 1000 563 Franck

Illegal textile collections have been taking place for many months in Wallonia’s communes. These collections are causing major economic losses for social enterprises. These operators generally pass themselves off as charities, but are in fact illegal networks whose sole aim is to make a financial profit. One way of distinguishing one social enterprise from another is through the Solid’R label. Check for the Solid’R logo on the collection containers!
