Glass containers disappeared: Citizen outraged by disposal chaos!

in Hohentengen, a municipality in the Sigmaringen district, the sudden disappearance of the glass containers caused excitement shortly before Christmas. The Alba had dismantled the containers two weeks before the end of the contract at the end of the year. The newly responsible company Braig delivered new containers as quickly as possible, but this resulted in a transition period in which the citizens had to fight their old glass.

The situation led to some residents shyed away from the journey to the recycling center and stacked their old glass at the locations of the mined containers. Hohentengen made the headlines particularly when a reader turned to the local newspaper with a complaint. These symptoms did not remain isolated: Citizens from other places also expressed resentment about the temporary absence of the containers.

criticism of reporting

A citizen from Hohentengen-Bremen, Charly Koch, critically commented on the article, which gave the impression that the citizens were too lazy to drive to the recycling center. Koch argued that the residents had not been informed about the reduction of the containers. He even took his way to quantities, where there were also no containers. He also criticized a photo perceived as inappropriate, which represented the new containers in a positive light, while chaos was ignored without container.

The new containers are also smaller than their predecessors and quickly filled themselves in Hohentengen. The district office is now planning to retrofit the locations with larger or additional containers to restore the old level of disposal.

In the meantime there are around 300,000 glass containers for recycling of waste glass in Germany, such as giga.de . The use of Google Maps can help to find the next old glass container, although not all locations may be registered. Local cleaning companies often offer more comprehensive information on container locations. It is important that old glass containers are only intended for container glass, such as beverage bottles and canned glasses. However, car windows or windows do not belong in the containers to facilitate recycling.
