Craftsmen goes into nature for 1,700 euros - illegal garbage scandal!

Potsdam-Mittelmark, Deutschland - A falling star in the craft? A man from Brandenburg used the Myhammer craftsman portal for illegal machinations. According to the Deutsche Handwerks Zeitung he accepted demolition orders, and then took a lot of money on the professional disposal of the Special waste. These crooked shops began in early 2019 and culminated in May 2022 when he went too far with an order for 1,700 euros for the demolition of two bungalows and the disruptive disposal of dangerous waste.

the matter flies up when he submits fake evidence for the disposal of asbestos and tar cardboard. In the end, the Potsdam District Court was full and condemned the man for fake and illegal waste disposal. Up to 15 cases of this kind have been proven, with the waste in nature, for example in forests and in fields in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district, simply buried. The convict received a year of liberty exposed to probation, and has to pay back around 13,000 euros of criminal profits.

The role of Myhammer

Despite the shocking circumstances, it is exciting to see how the man acquired his orders about Myhammer. The platform offers a variety of craftsmen and trades - a total of 35 and almost 60,000 craftsmen should be listed here. Myhammer himself explained that they take measures to prevent abuse, but the convicted craftsman was unnoticed.

The education of such cases is particularly important because the illegal disposal of waste not only harbors environmental risks, but also makes life difficult for other craftsmen. After all, clean and safe disposal methods have to be promoted so that the industry does not suffer from abuse.

waste disposal in view

At the regional level, the laws on waste disposal in Germany are determined by the circular economy law (KRWG), which aims to effectively regulate the avoidance, recycling and elimination of garbage. As the website Bussgeld catalog , the fines in the case of improper waste disposal from federal state to federal state vary, and the maximum amounts can be up to 50,000 euros. In North Rhine-Westphalia, for example, where we are, small contract infringements can already be punished with amounts between 10 and 25 euros.

A clear review shows that our waste management plays an enormously important role, since an annual waste volume of around 325 to 350 million tons occurs throughout Germany. The case of conscious abuse of disposal methods is a reminder that we have to take all responsibility for our waste. When it comes to garbage, it is high time to keep an overview and comply with legal requirements!
