Record early cleaning 2025: 45,000 helpers at the garbage campaign in Lower Austria!

With the beginning of the summer on June 20, 2025, spring cleaning ends in Lower Austria, which set new standards this year. Record -suspect 944 collection campaigns were carried out by impressive 45,000 volunteers. A total of 150,000 kilograms of waste were removed from nature, an initiative supported by numerous communities, associations, schools and committed individuals. This movement, which has grown as a pilot project since its start in 2006, symbolizes the community spirit and the commitment of people for a clean environment.

Spring cleaning is not only considered a simple clean -up action, but an important part of environmental education. Many schools and youth groups actively took part and learned the effort of the garbage disposal and the long decapping time of objects. The aids such as garbage bags, gripping tongs and warning vests were provided free of charge thanks to the support of 22 regional waste associations and three statutory cities. The proper disposal of the collected garbage was also guaranteed.

positive effects due to disposable deposit

The bizarre finds this year, including a battery ear, batteries and even a lost passport, stand for carefree disposable management, which must be broken through in the long term. The bizaries show that the fight against disposable culture is a continuous concern. Anton Kasser, President of the Lower Austria environmental associations, sees the increasing participation as an appeal in politics and society to actively address the challenges of disposable packaging and waste prevention.

environmental awareness in society

The commitment in the context of spring cleaning is a sign of the increased environmental awareness, which is also confirmed by a current study by the Federal Environment Agency in Germany. This shows that 54 percent of the surveyed environmental and climate protection are very important, even if there is a slight decline in recent years. More urgent topics such as health and educational issues have a strong impact on the priorities of the citizens. Nevertheless, the fight against plastic pollution and awareness of sustainable practices remains a central concern of society.

In satisfaction with the state of the environment, there is a positive picture: Over 80 percent of Germans are satisfied with the cleanliness and the quality of drinking water at their place of residence. Such survey results reflect the need for a greater commitment to environmental issues and can also serve as a motivation for future environmental campaigns such as spring cleaning in Lower Austria

Finally, the spring cleaning 2025 in Lower Austria is more than just a clean -up action. He acts as a catalyst for community action and an increasing awareness of the challenges of our time.
