Strike chaos in Hamm: Mountains of garbage grow, buses stop!
Strike chaos in Hamm: Mountains of garbage grow, buses stop!
The continued warning strike in Hamm has led to considerable disorders in garbage disposal and bus traffic. As the spokeswoman for the waste management and city cleaning company Hamm (ASH), Ina Paulfeuerborn, reports, the situation for the city is a major challenge. The ASH needs around 85 employees every day to carry out the regular garbage disposal and street cleaning. Currently, however, only 29 people are on duty, which results in massive failures in the company, reports Wa.de .
The effects of the warning strike are immediately noticeable. Road cleaning was largely suspended to support the remaining garbage disposal tours. Even if the organic and residual waste bins are emptied in most cases, failures cannot be excluded. Residents have already asked for reimbursements for unusual garbage disposal and bus trips. However, Stadtwerke spokeswoman Cornelia Helm has made it clear that there is no entitlement to reimbursement during the strike in the traffic area.
measures of the Ash
After completing the strike, the ASH plans to use more staff to pick up the pent -up garbage. The city has highlighted the limited possibilities of the fleet. Overall, a maximum of one or two additional vehicles can be used, which could require additional journeys outside the regular to root. Ash sees these measures as a decisive step to cope with the situation.
However, the citizens must make sure that garbage that has not been picked up in time must be unloaded after the strike date in order to perform the paid service. In the transport sector, no claims for reduced waste fees during the strike are possible. If additional waste is incurred at the next regular emptying, the ASH will be read in addition to the regular containers without any additional payments.further effects of the warning strike
The warning strike, which took place on March 4 and 5, 2025, also led to closures. The recycling center in Bockum-Hövel and the acceptance point at the central halls were not accessible on both days. The city of Hamm has recommended moving planned deliveries to another day. The ASH service hotline was not available throughout the strike.
After the developments during these days, certain containers were not emptied. These include organic bins, paper bins, recycling bins and occasionally residual waste bins. However, there were no significant restrictions on the bulk waste collection. Citizens have been informed that they can put the containers who have not been picked up at the next absorption to a reasonable extent to the containers in order to ensure relieved disposal.
The current situation illustrates the difficulties with which the city and its citizens are confronted. However, the ASH remains optimistic to master these challenges and to restore the usual quality of services soon. The team works tirelessly to meet the needs of the citizens and faces the task of working through the resulting residues after the end of the strike, according to the assessment of Hamm.de .
