City cleaning Hamburg starts large campaign against scrap bikes!

Hildesheim, Deutschland - In Hamburg, city cleaning has tackled a recurring problem: the scrap bikes that have long seen their best days. Every year, around 4,000 of these unused bike leave the city's streets. The recurring campaign to remove scrap bikes has started, and the reasons for this are clear. Old and broken bicycles block valuable space in the public area, represent a nuisance for pedestrians and cyclists and can even endanger traffic safety. Sat1 Regional reports that police officers and employees of the district offices mark the wheels that they consider unused or unsuitable for traffic.

How does the whole thing work? The affected bicycles are marked with a bright red sticker, which signals that their owners are asked to remove the wheel within 14 days. If you don't report, you can be prepared for a bad awakening: the city cleaning has the right to crack locks and dispose of the bicycles. In dangerous cases, if a bike represents acute dangers to traffic, scrapping takes place within 24 hours. A good hand has the city cleaning, which acts on behalf and removes the bicycles with special tools. City cleaning Hamburg speaks of a clear regulation that contributes to the certainty of all.

a win for everyone

The removed bicycles are either scrapped or receive a new life in the used goods rescue houses "style break", where they are available for new owners. Over 1,000 repairable bikes find new friends in the style fracture branches every year-and at a really fair price. Bicycles that can be made functional again with little effort end up in the city cleaning bike workshop at the recycling courtyard in Osdorf. Additional components are handed over to a scrap recycling company to be recycled there. how important it is that the urban rooms remain tidy and do not become scrap heaps.

"We don't want the public to be harassed by scrap bikes," explains Jens Kerstan, Senator for the Environment, Climate and Agricultural Management. Feedback from citizens are also very welcome. Scrap bikes can be easily reported via the SRH app, which contributes to a committed citizen participation in this campaign.

where and when will it become active?

recent measures have already led to the fact that numerous scrap bikes have been marked on the Reeperbahn. These marking actions should run through the city to draw attention to the problem. Ralf Neubauer, the district manager of Hamburg-Mitte, underlines the high pressure to use in public space, especially in the city center. In the future, further promotions in the Eimsbüttel and Wandsbek area as well as in Altona are planned. If you want to know where the next evacuation takes place, you can simply look around the app or on the homepage of city cleaning. A transparent and citizen -friendly solution!
