Munich wants “garbage sheriffs” – and sets absurd bureaucratic carousel in motion – Munich

In Hamburg, “garbage sheriffs” hand out tickets and impose fines. The Munich city council thinks this is a great idea, and gives its own administration an order – and sets an absurd carousel of bureaucracy in motion.

Munich is serious about garbage. The city council and administration are thinking a lot about how Munich could become a “zero waste city”. It is so serious that the city council is even advocating that others should learn something from it. In Hamburg, “Waste Watchers” have been patrolling the streets and green spaces for years. It is no coincidence that the English name for the “garbage watchers” is reminiscent of “Weight Watchers”, a US company that markets a diet method – in other words, fighting against kilos. The Waste Watchers from the waterfront fight against other people’s garbage, lecture them, hand out fines, for which there is a special fine office.
