Illegal parking hinders garbage collection: Schwabing calls for small cars!

In Munich, especially in the Schwabing district, garbage collection is encountering more and more problems. Illegally parked cars at the intersection of Kreuslinstrasse and Zentnerstrasse often get in the way, even though there is an absolute no-parking policy there. As a result, the garbage loaders of the waste management company (AWM) cannot reach the garbage cans - a situation that has now led to weeks of non-emptying. An affected resident has now contacted the Schwabing-West District Committee (BA) and requested a unilateral ban on parking on one side of Kreuslinstrasse. She describes the current situation as unbearable, having already submitted a number of complaints to the AWM without anything improving. The BA has responded to this request and is expecting a response from AWM tz.de reports that....

Problem caused by illegal parking

But Schwabing is not the only district in Munich that suffers from these conditions. In the popular residential area at Preysingplatz in Haidhausen, around 130 households have also been struggling with similar garbage problems for over a year. The CSU has already suggested requesting a smaller garbage truck from the AWM in order to get to the bins despite the illegal parking. A resident from this area, Carolin G., criticized the fact that the problem of illegal parking in the parking ban was not sufficiently addressed. The AWM confirmed that there is often parking at Preysingplatz, which hinders access to the parking spaces. However, there is no quick solution in sight because, due to the tight timing of the routes, the garbage drivers cannot simply drive by later abendzeitung-muenchen.de brings us….

The AWM's proposals to use smaller garbage trucks are met with mixed reactions. According to AWM, this cannot solve the problem satisfactorily because these “Minis” are only slightly narrower than the regular vehicles. The intention to use a smaller collection vehicle in the area from the intersection of Zentnerstrasse to Schleißheimer Strasse is currently being examined. So far, a smaller vehicle has already been used in a section between Hiltenspergerstrasse, Zentnerstrasse and Kreuslinstrasse to address the problem. The BA has now unanimously decided that the AWM should use these small vehicles in both affected areas and will provide feedback by autumn gib-entsorgung.de emphasizes that….

Weak points in the system

The situation is not only unpleasant for residents, but also has far-reaching effects on waste disposal in Munich. Incorrectly parked vehicles not only hinder garbage collection, but are also a nuisance, as garbage truck drivers are often forced to leave abandoned bins inconveniently. This often happens in narrow streets that already have difficulties with waste disposal - a circumstance that is not regulated by law, as parking and parking bans in certain places are not always indicated by signs gib-entsorgung.de reports that….

The challenges caused by these illegal parking violations are diverse. In residential areas, waste disposal companies must be creative and flexible to carry out waste collection. Without clear measures to combat illegal parking, it will continue to be difficult to keep the streets clean and maintain public order. Only joint efforts between residents, the city and the AWM can ensure that waste disposal in Schwabing and other affected parts of the city functions smoothly again.
