City supports with materials and collects accumulated garbage
The state capital Saarbrücken supports everyone who wants to participate in the "World Cleanup Day" for cleaner cities by providing grabbers and garbage bags. The collected waste is picked up by employees of the city's Central Municipal Waste Management Service (ZKE).
Anyone who wants to participate in the "World Cleanup Day" and take advantage of the support from ZKE can register by Friday, September 4, at www.saarbruecken.de/cleanupday.
