Drawing Attention to Problems - The Citizens’ Voice


No, this is not self-praise – or is it?



Articles on the topic of old clothes collection in public spaces have already been published here twice. Polemical, ironic – of course! And now it seems that this very issue has also been recognized in the district council. Really!

Rüdiger Erben posted the following on Facebook on 26.06.2025:

Old Clothes Disposal – Solution Only Through the Effort of All Parties Involved
After the cancellation of the district council meeting on 30.06.2025, the SPD/The Left district council faction brought forward the discussion of their motion “Situation of the Disposal of Old Clothes and Textiles in the Burgenlandkreis” to their faction meeting on Tuesday evening. Guest of the meeting was Henrik Otto, Chairman of the Board of Waste Management Saxony-Anhalt South – AöR (AW SAS).
Although the problems in the Burgenlandkreis vary in intensity across municipalities, there is immediate agreement that the current situation is unacceptable. It also became clear that there is no single cause for the problems with old clothes disposal. These range from the trend towards cheap textiles from TEMU, misinformation circulating on social media, to unreliable commercial collectors.
What does the SPD/The Left district council faction consider necessary now in the Burgenlandkreis?
Rapid expansion of the network of district-owned collection containers beyond the recycling centers, also to all green waste collection points of AW SAS.
Support for non-profit collectors (especially the three Red Cross district associations) by AW SAS in securing their system in the Burgenlandkreis.
Consistent action by municipal regulatory offices when commercial collectors do not regularly empty their containers and do not clean the surrounding area.
Termination by the municipalities of the use of public spaces by unreliable commercial collectors.
Intensified information for residents that heavily worn or torn, dirty or contaminated textiles (e.g., with oil or paint) and also wet or moldy clothing must still go into residual waste.
The current situation must be improved quickly. From my point of view, this includes increasing pressure on unreliable collectors by the municipalities, not only granting the right to place a container but also imposing a duty to collect when special use is approved. Collectors who do not fulfill their duties must have their permits revoked, as it is mainly the overflowing containers that attract further illegal dumping like a magnet.

So if you see grievances: The Citizens’ Voice is there to make them public. And with a bit of luck, politics will then take up these issues.
