Garbage chaos in Cologne-Mülheim: Citizens calls for immediate cleanup!

in Cologne-Mülheim is bubbling: The garbage problem causes excitement among the residents: inside. The reader reporter Peter Bermes recently took an urgent picture of illegally disposed objects such as clothing, shoes and pillows on a wall. This is only the latest example of the constantly dirty state of the sidewalk on the Clevian ring, which is always at the center of the discussions. Despite multiple reports to the Waste management company Cologne (AWB), the Situation has not improved over several weeks.

Bermes expresses the assumption that it has not been cleaned in Bachstrasse for weeks, a fact that many residents get concerns. This impression is not the first: a few weeks ago, the same citizen had already sent photos from Mülheim about the dirt problem, and the topic continues to rotate in a circle.

how can it go on?

The question arises as to what the city of Cologne can do to defuse the garbage problem. The District Government Cologne , as the upper waste management authority, has the task of checking the approval and surveillance of landfills as well as significant systems for the treatment and envelope of waste. The implementation of the waste management plans is to be ensured by their exams of the municipal waste management concepts.

The challenge also becomes an interesting opportunity for young people. The AWB Cologne offers training positions in the disposal area that come fresh from school or already have a (specialist) Abitur. The search for motivated applicants: inside who bring teamwork and willingness to learn is running. Apprentices have the chance to develop personally during their apprenticeship and to deepen their knowledge in an important area.

what kind of cleaner city?

Cologne's citizens: Inside, more efficiency and a consistent solution to the garbage problem await. This not only needs a good knack for city's own facilities, but also the participation of the residents: inside. Together it is important to promote awareness of cleanliness and to support the switch to sustainable practices

The city of Cologne could currently be from a powerful outcry of all Mülheimers: Interior to persuade the responsible bodies to act. The garbage must no longer be accepted tacitly - after all, we live here, and the condition of our streets and squares affects all of us.

It remains to be hoped that those responsible will soon take the pressing problems seriously and to face the challenge. Because one thing is certain: a clean Cologne is what everyone urgently needs!
