The district has convicted a whole series of garbage sinners - with a simple, small sticker.

Since the beginning of the year, every residual and organic waste bin in the district of Erding has had to have a fee sticker assigned to the respective household.

The aim at that time was to achieve more fairness in fees.

That the request was justified is now shown by an initial evaluation that Andreas Neumaier, Head of Waste Management, presented to the district council's environmental committee yesterday.

"We identified 136 cases in which non-registered bins were used," says Neumaier.

As you know, they can be purchased at any hardware store.

55 cases have been closed, the hearing is ongoing in 80, and in one it is imminent.

According to Neumaier, at least 35,000 euros in garbage fees have been demanded so far.

"This shows that the stickers really contribute to fairer charging," says Neumaier.
