What Intradura Afvalintercommunale does

Intradura Afvalintercommunale is a Belgian public intercommunal waste management organization ("opdrachthoudende vereniging") established on 27 April 2017 through a formal transfer ("beheersoverdracht") of the statutory waste-management task from its municipal shareholders. The entity is owned collectively by 18 municipalities in the western edge ("westrand") of Vlaams-Brabant: Asse, Beersel, Bever, Dilbeek, Drogenbos, Grimbergen, Halle, Kapelle-op-den-Bos, Lennik, Linkebeek, Merchtem, Opwijk, Pajottegem, Pepingen, Roosdaal, Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Ternat, and Wemmel. It is registered under OVAM (Flemish public waste agency) as number 127659 and headquartered at Dorent 5, 1620 Drogenbos, Belgium (VAT BE 0678 491 046), operating under GDPR/AVG with a designated Data Protection Officer.

Intradura delivers integrated waste management across the chain: scheduled curbside collection of residual waste, Fost Plus fractions (PMD and paper/cardboard), GFT (garden and food waste), on-demand bulky waste ("grofvuil") collection, glass collection via above- and underground containers ("glasbollen"), asbestos removal, and the operation of automated, appointment-based recycling parks ("recyclageparken") via mijnrecyclagepark.be. Services are sold to municipalities under a modular structure — a base package covering waste prevention, residual waste collection, Fost Plus fractions, and waste processing, plus an optional add-on package ("keuzepakket") covering GFT, hazardous household waste (KGA), and bulky waste. In 2026 the organization is implementing a DIFTAR ("pay-as-you-throw") system under the "na de zak, samen aan de bak" program, with three new bag types sold through dedicated vendor ordering infrastructure.

A complementary education and citizen-engagement layer includes free recycling-park tours, school sorting materials (via Fost Plus), a Sorteergame educational tool, a Recycle App for collection reminders, and a bi-annual municipal-specific newsletter (ID-krant). Governance is provided by a Raad van Bestuur of 12 municipal administrators, 3 advisory members, and 4 experts, chaired by Jeroen Tiebout; day-to-day operations are led by Algemeen Directeur Stephan Verwee and Directeur Operations Gunther Van Heymbeeck. Headcount is reported as 29 FTE augmented by more than 150 operational workers (collectors, drivers, recycling park guards, sludge workers, mechanics, gutter cleaners). Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Renewi: Renewi is a major listed European waste-to-products company operating across the Benelux with collection, recycling and material-recovery capabilities. It overlaps with Intradura in household/municipal waste collection and recycling-park services but operates as a broad commercial incumbent across many waste streams.
• Veolia Belgium: Veolia is a global environmental services group with significant Belgian operations in waste collection and treatment. It competes for commercial/industrial waste contracts and overlaps with the recycling/processing portion of Intradura's offering, but serves a broader portfolio of municipal and industrial customers.

Others

• OVAM: OVAM is the Flemish public waste agency (Public Waste Agency of the Flemish Region) under which Intradura is registered (OVAM number 127659). It is the regulator and policy-setter for the Flemish waste sector and a thematically related public-sector peer rather than a market competitor.
