Whoever generates waste is also responsible for its correct disposal. The city of Wolfsburg therefore warns its population against illegal disposal offers. Because dubious leaflets are distributed over and over again. 

The city of Wolfsburg has warned its citizens about illegal disposal offers for waste. Although there are quite proper collections of, for example, old clothes or scrap metals, there are always dubious leaflets in Wolfsburg’s mailboxes announcing illegal collections. 

These dice slips are often written anonymously and usually call for scrap metals, old appliances and clothing to be handed in at short notice. The city said on Thursday the collection of problematic waste such as car batteries is also offered again and again.

Wolfsburg should be suspicious especially when the collection of used electrical appliances is announced. Here it is clearly regulated by law that these can only be disposed of by the public waste disposal authority or by taking them back to retailers. 

Wolfsburg should help with persecution

Above all, nature in Wolfsburg suffers from illegal waste disposal, warned the city. Because old devices are often collected and cannibalized. What the collectors can no longer use ends up in the forest or in the fields. 

The city therefore asks its citizens to help prosecute illegal scrap or electronic scrap collectors. If you discover a questionable leaflet in your mailbox, you should contact the lower waste management authority or the police immediately. In addition, citizens who observe scrap collectors should note down the license plate number of the respective vehicle and take photos in order to enable later follow-up.

The use of illegal disposal offers can also have expensive consequences for users.
