Multi-layered strategy to promote urban cleanliness

The cities of Dreieich and Neu-Isenburg are taking a significant step towards enhancing cleanliness in their public spaces. A comprehensive approach developed by DLB AoR, in collaboration with the administrations of both cities, aims to address this issue.

First Deputy Mayor Holger Dechert has emphasized the importance of cleanliness in the city, and a dedicated "Cleanliness Task Force" has been established to coordinate these efforts.

The plan prioritizes prevention, with public awareness campaigns and more frequent cleanings. One measure being considered is the introduction of street cleaning charges in heavily frequented areas. These charges could help fund the measures and promote cleanliness in these zones.

If approved by the city council in December 2024, the concept's implementation timeline is subject to city council approval. The estimated annual costs are a low six-figure amount.

A "Round Table for Cleanliness" will oversee and adjust the measures, attended by representatives from the administration and DLB. The concept will be presented to the city council in December 2024, and if approved, implementation could begin in 2025.

The approach ranges from prevention to possible restrictions. The plan includes a multi-year evaluation and adjustment process for the measures, ensuring the continuous improvement of public cleanliness in Dreieich and Neu-Isenburg.

It's worth noting that the organization responsible for implementing this concept is not explicitly mentioned. However, efforts related to public cleanliness in the Offenbach area involve the local authority's regulatory office (Ordnungsbehörde), which enforces measures against illegal waste disposal.

The costs will be shared by Dreieich and Neu-Isenburg. Approval by the magistrate and consultation in the committee for urban development, environment, and energy are required before the plan can move forward. The city council's approval is crucial for the success of this initiative, as they will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of public cleanliness in Dreieich and Neu-Isenburg.
