City Councilor Korinna Stephan (B’90/Greens) emphasized that the main goal of the campaign was to bring the neighborhood residents together and to have discussions about cleanliness in public space. At the same time, awareness should be sharpened to avoid garbage and dispose of it correctly.

The project is launched by the Reinickendorf district and supported by the offices of the district management and Benn areas as well as local actors. Funding is carried out by means of the Senate Department for Mobility, Transport, Climate Protection and the Environment as part of the "Clean City" campaign program.

Historical Parallels:
In past years there have been similar actions for waste prevention and disposal in various districts. An example of this is the “Clean City” campaign in Kreuzberg, which has successfully raised awareness of cleanliness and waste disposal with similar exchange and bulky waste. Citizens were also able to hand over their no longer required items free of charge and exchange them for others. The success of these measures shows that such actions can have a positive impact on the cityscape and the environmental awareness of people.
