Oberhausen cleans up: Take part in the large garbage collection campaign!

The largest garbage collection campaign, the spring cleaning in Oberhausen, is planned for March. From 22. Until March 29 , the city is calling up the citizens to actively participate in order to improve the cleanliness and quality of life in their surroundings.

The participants have the opportunity to choose their individual collecting areas, be it in their neighborhood, in a park or on a playground. The WBO (Oberhausen Wirtschaftsbetriebe) provides the necessary materials such as warning vests, gloves, gripping tongs and garbage bags. Full garbage bags are picked up by the WBO after the action.

guided tours for more information

A special highlight of this year's spring cleaning is the guided tours that are also offered. These should not only give the participants the opportunity to collect garbage, but also to learn more about city history. There are a total of three guided tours to choose from:

• Oberhausens Alte Mitte
• History of the colliery and Kokerei Osterfeld
• hike through Sterkrade

The first tour takes place on 22. March at 2 p.m. and the last two tours take place on 18. March and 29. March instead with start at 3 p.m. or 2 p.m. .

an active contribution to environmental protection

This action is not only important locally, but is in the context of a growing global consciousness for environmental protection. Due to the shortage of natural resources, climate change and a growing earth population, the pressure to develop more effective waste management strategies becomes increasingly noticeable. Germany has established itself as a pioneer in modern waste management and promoted technology transfers and sustainable practices, as the Environmental Federal Office

In waste management, the assumption of responsibility is gaining in importance, which is essential for health protection, protection of the habitat and gentle use of natural resources. The early mobilization of citizens through actions such as peace plaster helps to strengthen awareness of environmentally friendly practices.

Among all participants in the garbage collection campaign will also be raffled by profits in order to reward and continue to motivate the participation. In view of the upcoming campaign, the organizers expect that many Oberhauseners accept the call to participate and will actively contribute to a cleaner city.
