Garbage scandal in Neustrelitz: Illegal slaughterhouse waste endangers nature!

A frightening incident has occurred in a forest in the Altstrelitz district of Neustrelitz: illegally disposed of slaughterhouse waste has been found in a plastic bin there since the end of March. In high summer temperatures, the leftover meat rotted away, which posed a serious danger not only to walkers but also to the environment. These wastes have become real carriers of germs that can endanger people, nature and wild animals Northern Courier reported.

The two forest lovers Claudia Mannel and Thomasspeiser came across the disgusting waste and immediately reported the find to the Neustrelitz public order office. This had promised to take care of the immediate removal, with the removal from a water protection area being organized. But when the walkers stopped by the forest again, they were horrified to see that the bin remained in the same place and was open - a sign of the public order office's lack of ability to act.

The lack of action

On June 25th the barrel was discovered again by Mannel andspeiser. Their patience was exhausted and they expressed their displeasure at the inaction of the authorities. “We should treat nature more responsibly,” they appealed to the citizens when they finally found the rubbish unchanged. In order to initiate the removal of the waste, the district first had to identify the owner of the affected area.

Eventually, however, the matter began to move. After three months, the Mecklenburg Lake District finally took action and determined that it was animal waste that should not be disposed of by municipal waste disposal companies. A specialist company was commissioned to dispose of the contents of the bin properly. Nils Henke, spokesman for the district, confirmed that the waste had now been cleared and thanked those who provided information.

The big problem of illegal waste disposal

What many people don't know: Illegal waste disposal is a problem that goes far beyond the borders of Neustrelitz. Loud Catalog of fines The fines for illegal waste disposal in Germany vary from state to state. For example, wild dumping can result in fines of between 500 and 2,500 euros. The disposal of such waste also causes immense costs to the public, which must be financed with tax money.
