Clean Lower Allgäu: Over 2 tons of garbage collected during spring cleaning!

In the Unterallgäu district, spring is welcomed not only with colorful flowers, but also with a large-scale garbage collection campaign. The third edition of “Pack mer’s! Clean Unterallgäu” was completed in April with great success. In total, over 50 groups and associations took part in this meaningful initiative, which is intended to increase awareness of environmentally friendly actions. How Allgäu hit According to reports, the campaign collected more than two tons of rubbish from nature, including unexpected finds such as old tires.

Trash collection is not just a way to beautify the environment; it also promotes a sense of community among the participants. District Administrator Alex Eder praised the citizens' commitment, which not only has a positive impact on the environment, but also deepens the fun and sense of community within the groups. The collected waste was transported to transfer stations in Breitenbrunn and to various recycling centers, including Bad Wörishofen and Mindelheim.

The campaign is particularly aimed at clubs, school classes and other interested groups who want to become active in the Unterallgäu district.
