    conclude

Garbage in the cities is always an issue – also in Fulda. Reader William Burdumy is of the opinion that our city is becoming increasingly littered. There are also problems with street cleaning on Von-Schildeck-Strasse, where he lives.

Fulda – watch disorder and rubbish William Burdumywho has been in Fulda for six years has been living in Fulda. He himself lives in the Von-Schildeck-Strasse and especially complains about the bushes in the Buseckstrasse. There he had already found all kinds of things: “Condoms, Pampers, Leftover food and loads of worn out Masks.“

It is true that less garbage will be disposed of through the lockdown. Yet he did not disappear. Especially the Downtown cause him concern – about that Mittelstraße. “I feel sick when I see that,” he says, pointing out that there are numerous takeaways and a lack of them Garbage can. He is certain: “As a rat you can get into Fulda feed wonderfully. ”The 68-year-old, who originally came from the USA come, compare Fulda with the metropolis New York: “It’s ten times cleaner there than Fulda.” city the 68-year-old has often turned – but without success. “The city just doesn’t care, ”he says.

Disorder and a lack of rubbish bins in downtown Fulda

He sees the reason for the littering in the fact that none Familys more in the Downtown lived – rather, they are young People and Students. In no way does he want to generalize the problem, he makes clear. “From 1000 People only one person has to be messy, “he emphasizes, and adds:” It doesn’t depend on everyone, but on individuals who simply don’t care. “

Of the city the 68-year-old would either get bigger or wider Garbage can to wish. He also thinks it is absolutely necessary that more patrols are made.

The 68-year-old also addresses a second problem: In the road, in which he lives, the street cleaning will be carried out by the city neglected. “The curb is covered with leaves. At some point it gets hard and cannot be removed. ”The cleaning always comes late in the morning, so when Autos the road parked too. The Cleaning vehicle then I can no longer get to the relevant points. “These machinery are a joke ”, he ventures his anger. “Only a large broom is effective here.” He doesn’t necessarily expect the Cleaning staff Arrive much earlier, but suggests putting up a sign saying “Attention, cleaning! Please do not park ”for two hours. He’s got that too City of Fulda already proposed several times, probably in vain.
