Villach puts a penalty against garbage sinners - Klagenfurt remains relaxed
With the falling leaves and mowing the fields, the unsightly waste comes back to the surface. In many places you can find car tires, plastic bottles and aluminum boxes that were disposed of outdoors. While a stringent penalty of 500 euros in Villach has been applying for garbage sinners for two months, the city of Klagenfurt has different priorities in dealing with this problem.
The location in Klagenfurt, especially in popular places such as the Glanufer or the East Bay, has the consequence that an increase in illegal garbage becomes visible. Sandra Wassermann (FPÖ), the responsible political speaker, expresses concerns about the threats of punishment and refers to the practical challenges in waste disposal: "A traceability of the punishment is questionable, since trash cans are often looted by crows, which makes the situation more difficult." She emphasizes that there is no need for high punishments in Klagenfurt, since 52 employees are in use every day from 5 a.m. to keep the city clean. In addition, voluntary organizations and schools are involved in actively collecting garbage.

In contrast to this, there is a determined approach from Villach, where Mayor Günther Albel (SPÖ) indicates the need to take clear measures against garbage pollution. Previous experiences in popular leisure areas such as the Gailufer have led to the city issued a regulation that provides for a fine of at least 500 euros for the illegal disposal of garbage. Albel describes this measure as a "self -defense reaction" in order not only to protect the environment, but also to obtain a clear point of view in the debate about the cleanliness of public spaces.To ensure compliance with this regulation, a security service was hired. In addition, additional trash cans have been set up, the nightcamping is prohibited and everyone who wants to grill in this area must register beforehand. These regulations will also be retained in the coming years in order to make the recreational space properly and inviting for all citizens.
The situation in Klagenfurt and Villach clearly shows how different cities are concerned with the challenge of the garbage. While Villach pursues a strict course with clear punishments and measures, Klagenfurt is more likely to prevent the population's prevention and commitment to counter the problem of the garbage. These different approaches raise the question of which path is ultimately more successful. Further details on this topic can be found in the reports at kaernten.orf .
