Dispose of fallen fruit correctly: This is what people in Dachau need to know now!
In the Dachau district there are new regulations for the disposal of fallen fruit that require fresh attention. The district office has published clear instructions to help garden owners dispose of their fruit correctly and in an environmentally friendly manner. A central concern of the authority is to avoid the delivery of fallen fruit to recycling centers. These do not accept fallen fruit, as current information shows.
In the municipality of Weichs, it was particularly pointed out that no distribution of fallen fruit is permitted in these locations. Smaller quantities used to be accepted as a gesture of goodwill, but that is no longer the case. Fallen fruit that is not disposed of properly not only attracts unwanted animals such as wasps and rats, but can also disrupt the shredding process, reducing the efficiency of waste utilization.
Disposal guidelines
Instead, the district office recommends disposing of fallen fruit in the organic waste bin. It is important that the bin should only be filled halfway. It is also advisable to mix the fallen fruit with other organic waste such as leaves and grass clippings to optimize composting.
A practical tip for environmentally conscious citizens: fallen fruit can also be composted in your own garden. To do this, it should be applied in thin layers and covered so that it can be used effectively. Alternatively, you have the option of buying fruit via the online gift market www.verschenkmarkt-dachau.de to give away what is both ecologically and socially beneficial.
Agricultural options
There are also solutions for those who have large quantities of fallen fruit. Farms in the district accept large quantities, so they can be a good place to go for surplus fruit. Those interested can contact the waste advisory service to obtain the addresses of suitable companies. The telephone number is 08131/741469.
The new regulations for the disposal of fallen fruit are an important step in making waste management in the district efficient and sustainable. read more on Mercury. Whether in Weichs or elsewhere, it is up to us to protect the environment even in small ways and to follow the new instructions.
