Dusseldorf - What was left of Pentecost: gnawed bones, dirty paper plates, broken bottles and burnt earth.
After dozens of barbecues and picnics on the long, sunny weekend, stifled the Volksgarten in the trash.
Must clean up the mess now, the Düsseldorf office garden. And there you - as after each of the last weekend - the despair is nigh: "The garbage cans in Volksgarten make it no longer," Manfred Krick sighs from the garden office.
"It has become so many barbecues to celebrate that our trash can no longer compensate for the garbage can. Since there is little to buy the disposable barbecues, more and more fetuses grow in the open. "And for this pilgrimage, the Düsseldorf Grill Fans preferably in the parks.
Result: nasty food scraps and cardboard tableware land next to the overflowing tons, grilled fun everywhere testify coal remains and burnt grass. Not only for residents Karl-Heinz Kröger an intolerable condition:
"The beautiful Volksgarten has come to see on a daily basis as a single dump. In the past when one could walk through the park off really. Now you will not even go here with his dog for walkies. "
To change this again, looked to Manfred Krick and his colleagues from the garden office yesterday at the Volksgarten, looking for solutions: "We want to ban, despite all the people grilling. That is part of urban culture. So we need to come up with something, "said Krick.
Some 70 bodies with burnt grass, he has counted on his tour. "We will now set up tons of ashes in metal, where people can dispose of their coals, rather than pay out in the park. And for the garbage container, we could establish in the public gardens. It worked well even in Rheinpark very good. "
Really you can not make friends at the garden office with this idea anyway. not the large, bulky containers fit into the picture of the Public Gardens, they say. Mountains of garbage, but not. Therefore, solutions must soon produce.
At the Düsseldorf Grill namely friends of all motorbikes waiting for a long summer with lots of beautiful sunny days.
