Schillchaos in Spandau: where the hotspots of illegal disposal are

Spandau, Deutschland - nag/nag editors -

In Berlin-Spandau it is bubbling! Illegal waste disposal has developed into a serious problem that deals with the residents and the city administration alike. Despite repeated cleaning actions, the situation remains tense in many places. The green areas and open spaces on the state border with Brandenburg are particularly affected, where the hotspots for garbage deposits are constantly changing, such as Tanja Römischer reported by the MOZ.

A look at the online registration portal of the regulatory office shows that the citizens can actively contribute to education. Since January 2024, garbage deposits have been reported again and again in Siemensstadt and other districts such as Spandau. The Berlin city cleaning (BSR) is required to remove bulky waste, electronic waste and other waste. In 2020, the district alone had to spend 1.1 million euros on the removal of illegally deposited garbage, which underlines the urgency of the problem, such as Berliner Week reported.

The district center "Staakentreff Obstallee" emphasizes that bulky waste is not only unloaded outdoors, but also in the houses. This has an impact on cleanliness, but also on the operating costs of the tenants who have to bear the costs for waste disposal. The polluters are often difficult to identify, since the BSR suspects that many illegal deposits come from dubious traders who want to save costs through illegal disposal.

The BSR therefore calls for consistent measures against the culprits. Dr. Thomas Klöckner, a spokesman for the BSR, emphasizes that uncontrolled free bulky waste collections cannot solve the problem. In addition, the “Watches Watcher” who are traveling in the district are an important part of the strategy to identify the garbage sinners. Citizens are called to report suspicious activities and thus actively contribute to solving the problem.

The situation in Spandau is alarming and requires quick action. The citizens are required to take illegal waste disposal together with the city administration. Only through a common commitment can cleanliness in the green areas and in the playgrounds be restored so that Spandau remains a livable place.
