Greifswald (dpa / mv) – just sweep autumn leaves from the sidewalk onto the street? According to the city of Greifswald, this is not a good idea. Sweepers could not manage the mountains of leaves, and the leaves could endanger road traffic and put additional strain on the sewage system, according to a statement from the city on Wednesday.
Instead, residents should dispose of the leaves from their properties free of charge at recycling centers. One is pleased that the citizens are cleaning so actively, the city said. However, the leaves of footpaths and cycle paths or green strips are partially swept onto the street. “We would therefore like to remind you that this is not permitted according to the street cleaning statute.”
