Excessive Demand for Garbage Disposal in Obernau Unrealistic
The upcoming collection event scheduled for next Thursday, July 17, has raised concerns among local authorities due to potential environmental risks. The event, which is not officially sanctioned by the Environmental and Consumer Protection Office, is set to collect a variety of items such as cars, bicycles, and electrical devices.
Despite the lack of official approval, flyers for the event have been distributed in the district of Obernau, and it's possible that they have been distributed in other districts as well. However, the collection event may not be conducted in a manner that ensures the proper disposal of waste, posing a risk to the environment due to improper disposal.
The Environmental and Consumer Protection Office has issued a warning that the collection event is not permitted as the required notification has not been submitted. This means that it is not guaranteed that all waste collected will be disposed of in a legal or safe manner. If the waste is not properly disposed of, it may end up on parking lots or open landscapes, requiring public expense for removal.
Unusable items from the collection event may be left on the street after valuable waste has been taken, further contributing to the environmental hazard. The city of Aschaffenburg advises citizens to disregard the collection calls and not place items on the street.
Suspicious collection vehicles can be reported to the police via the emergency number 110. For questions or tips, the Environmental and Consumer Protection Office can be contacted at 06021 / 330-1576.
It's worth noting that the collection of old vehicles and electrical devices is generally prohibited, and the authority responsible for illegal collection related to weapons is the local weapons authority ("Waffenbehörde"), such as the one mentioned in Husum, Kreis Nordfriesland. However, the specific contact details depend on the regional jurisdiction and are not explicitly stated in the provided information.
In light of these concerns, it's crucial for citizens to exercise caution and only participate in officially sanctioned collection events to ensure the proper disposal of waste and the protection of the environment.
