Waldheim in the garbage chaos: is the end of the old clothing container?

Waldheim, Deutschland - In Waldheim, the discussion about the old clothing containers causes plenty of conversation. On Pestalozzistraße and other areas in the urban area, pants, sweaters and torn bags are stacked around the containers and make them real garbage dumps. The situation is so unsustainable that AfD City Councilor Mike Mende made the problem aware of the problem in a council meeting and brought the container to a conversation. In the following council meeting, the AfD and the CDU faction made separate proposals to terminate the parking spaces for the old clothing containers without replacement. Sächsische reports.

In order to master the garbage problem, the CDU demands clear signs to the recycling center, which should also name the opening hours. The deputy mayor Tobias Busch (CDU) relies on the new circular economy law, the municipalities obliged to set up suitable return offices for old clothes. "Recyclably can act as an alternative collection points," says Busch. However, Mende points out that the containers are increasingly emptied, which leads to mountain of garbage that the building yard then has to dispose of. This drives up the costs for the city.

difficulties in disposal

The criticism of the citizens who put their garbage in forests or in streams is no coincidence. The city plans to organize the submission of old clothes primarily via the recycling centers in order to save space and get the garbage problem under control. However, Mayor Steffen Ernst (FDP) points out that the city can only remove containers on urban land. Talks with the property owners are necessary for the containers on private areas.

The legal framework that affects the collection of old clothes are also important. According to the circular economy law, private households are obliged to leave their waste to public disposal institutions, while non-profit and commercial collections must be regularly registered, as the Federal Environment Agency explains. Containers that do not show a clear identification of the disposal company are often illegal and the city has an interest in preventing such collections.

Current developments and suggestions

The new requirement for separate recording of old textiles also ensures that many municipalities check their collecting systems in detail. The focus is increasingly on high -quality utilization, while the role of non -profit collections is viewed critically in this context. Information on this can be read, for example, in the info pack 113 "The municipal collection of old clothes", which provides an updated overview of the challenges in waste management. This is available for member companies at a discounted price, while an event on this topic is due on November 14, 2024, as is the case VKU.

The topic of the old clothing container remains exciting in Waldheim and certainly requires a few clarifying conversations to meet the environment and the needs of the citizens.
