In March and April, numerous municipalities in Saxony invite their citizens to take part in spring cleaning. The campaigns are met with great interest. Every year, thousands of people take part in clearing parks, riverbanks and green spaces of garbage and old leaves. A considerable amount of waste is collected in the process. What about this year?
Where are the spring cleaning campaigns taking place?
Campaigns are taking place almost everywhere in Saxony: In Dresden, the Elbe meadows are to be cleaned on March 28. In Leipzig, 63 spring cleaning events are scheduled in various parts of the city from March 16 to 29. From March 30 to April 28, the motto in Saxony's third-largest city is "For a clean Chemnitz".
The districts will also be cleaning up and collecting garbage. In the district of Bautzen, for example, the motto since the beginning of the month has been: "Give the garbage a basket". The local authorities provide information about the campaigns online.
