Near the Centraal station, I used a service called Eelway (https://www.eelway.com/en/luggage-storage/brussels). I left my luggage there for 3 days while I was in Ghent. I think they have other locations in Brussels as they work with local shops where you can store your bags
On Brussels- Midi I saw two deferent lockers: staffed and self service. I used the self service for two cabin size suitcases and a backpack – all fit in the middle size locker, costed me 5 €.
Please note, as of 26/10/2018, all of the lockers at Brussels Central station are not working. We used a company called Nannybag. We paid online and the drop off was a tourist gift shop opposite the station on Rue Duquesnoy.
It was 6 Euro per bag.
The lockers at the airport are at level 0; you have to go outside and to the left (follow signs of lockers). I was able to stack 2 big bags and a carry on with additional laptop bag. You need to add only 1 Euro to lock (red light) and then pay when you come back. The lock is electronic and one cannot add lock of their own. The coin dispenser machine does not work and so make sure when you come back you have enough coins. The free interphone does work and you can get someone on other side. I used it for 72 hours. When you come back, scan the receipt and the display will show you the amount to be paid. Once you add required coins, the locker opens up (green light).

According to The Man in Seat 61, there is a 24h manned luggage storage office at Brussels Midi:

The maximum duration for the lockers is 168 hours (7 days), after which the locker will be made empty and transferred to the staffed luggage facility. (As said here in dutch:)
HOE WERKT HET ?
Bij het gebruik van de kluizen betaal je huurgeld voor een periode van 24 uur. Na het verstrijken van deze periode, of indien de kluis tijdens de huurperiode geopend werd door de klant, moet voor een nieuwe periode van 24 uur worden
betaald. De maximale periode van gebruik is 168 uren.Bij de betaling ontvang je een ticket dat je dient te bewaren voor de heropening van de kluis (scannen). Indien je de kluis voor meer dan 24 uur in gebruik genomen hebt, dan zal bij de afhaling van de inhoud het openstaand saldo betaald dienen
te worden alvorens je toegang krijgt tot de kluis.[…]
WAT GEBEURT ER ALS DE VOORWERPEN NIET WORDEN AFGEHAALD ?
Voorwerpen die na 168 uur niet weggenomen zijn, worden ambtshalve naar de bagagebewaargeving overgebracht. Van dat ogenblik af gelden voor deze voorwerpen het tarief en de voorwaarden van “bewaargeving van bagage”.
Voorwerpen die niet binnen een termijn van 50 dagen worden afgehaald bij de “Bewaargeving voor bagage”, zullen beschouwd worden als “achtergelaten” en zullen overgemaakt worden aan de onderneming waarmee NMBS een recyclageovereenkomst heeft afgesloten (VZW Spullenhulp).
The rough translation by google says:
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
When using the safes you pay rent for a period of 24 hours. After the expiry of this period, or if the safe was opened by the customer during the rental period, it must be for a new period of 24 hours paid. The maximum period of use is 168 hours.
With the payment you will receive a ticket that you must keep for the reopening of the safe (scanning). If you have the safe have taken into use for more than 24 hours, the outstanding balance will have to be paid when the content is collected
before you get access to the safe.[…]
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE OBJECTS ARE NOT COLLECTED?
Objects that are not removed after 168 hours are automatically transferred to the baggage claim. From From that moment on, the rate and the conditions for “storage of luggage” apply to these objects.
Items that are not collected within the 50-day period from the “Baggage deposit” will be considered “left behind” and will be transferred to the company with which SNCB a has concluded a recycling agreement (VZW Spullenhulp).
To be sure you can try calling the left luggage service at Brussels Midi and ask: 022248862
