“Clean is nicer”: ZKE informs and inspects in Altenkessel on July 23

As part of the “Clean is nicer” campaign, the environmental patrol of the municipal Central Municipal Waste Management Company (ZKE) will carry out inspections and provide information on various topics related to city cleanliness on Thursday, July 23, in Altenkessel.

The municipal employees check the cleaning responsibilities of residents as well as streets and squares where illegal waste disposal frequently occurs.

At the same time, the environmental patrol draws pedestrians’ attention to “waste offenses.” These include, for example, someone throwing cigarettes on the ground, leaving dog droppings behind, or illegally dumping bulky waste in public areas. If the environmental patrol detects such administrative offenses, it will, if necessary, initiate a fine procedure.

To ensure that waste is properly disposed of while on the go, ZKE staff distribute useful materials as needed, such as small pocket ashtrays, dog waste bags, or practical garbage bags.

Background

The ZKE environmental patrol is responsible for identifying waste offenders in Malstatt and Burbach. In the other districts, the Municipal Regulatory Service (KOD) pursues illegal dumping. In addition, the environmental patrol conducts special inspections several times a year in various districts and daily checks the mandatory sidewalk cleaning carried out by property owners throughout Saarbrücken.
