Packed Halls, Spring Cleanup in Leipzig and Dresden Overflows with Participants 🔥
Strong turnout at spring cleanup events in Leipzig and Dresden - Regional Cleaning Spree Sweeps Leipzig and Dresden
You've missed the boat, mate! Dresden had to shut down their registration portal for this year's Elbe meadows cleanup due to a bustling number of applicants hankering to join, a city announcement declared. With a capacity limit of 2,000 individuals, those slots were filled like hot cakes! "No additional helpers will be activated on-site, as the fragile nature and fauna mustn't be pushed to the brink during the cleaning action," they warned.
Fret not if you're already signed up! You can partake in your designated spot between 9 and 12 am on April 5. Just be sure to place any accumulated trash and smaller logs at the edge of the Elbe trail by high noon. The city administration will swoop in and dispose of it all afterwards.
Those lush, peaceful Elbe meadows in Dresden have been off-limits for development since the good old 19th century. These bits of green serve multiple purposes, including acting as a flood buffer. For the locals, those verdant fields, nestled right in the city center, prove to be an irresistible oasis for relaxation and play. A recent survey revealed that more than half of the residents consider the Elbe meadows the absolute best thing about Dresden.
And Leipzig joins in the spring cleaning fun as well! Known as "Leipzig cleans up," the city administration is urging everyone to tidy up public spaces from March 21 to April 14. Engaging over 40 initiatives with hundreds of participants, the city has reported. Last year, a whopping 1,100 people took part, hauling away around 100 cubic meters of rubbish.
