Offenbach fights illegal dumping with €10,000 fines and new barriers
Offenbach is cracking down on illegal waste dumping with stricter fines and new measures. The city has raised penalties to €10,000 and introduced warning signs at hotspots. Authorities are also encouraging residents to report dumping through an online platform.
The city has placed warning placards at locations where illegal garbage dumping is common. Large dumping sites will now be cordoned off with barrier tape and marked with campaign stickers. These steps aim to deter offenders and raise public awareness.
The new measures include higher fines, visible warnings, and public reporting tools. Offenbach hopes these changes will reduce illegal dumping and keep the city cleaner. Fines of up to €10,000 now apply to those caught disposing of waste unlawfully.
