Am U-Bahnhof Schloßstraße und unter der Tiburtiusbrücke stapelt sich der Müll. An jeder Ecke ist der Geruch unangenehm. Dieses Problem sorgt bei Bewohnern und Passanten für Ärger und Unmut. Im Bereich des U-Bahnhofs Schloßstraße sowie unter der Tiburtiusbrücke hat sich eine große Müllansammlung gebildet, die sich über die letzten Wochen stetig vergrößert hat. Der Müll türmt sich dort geradezu und es scheint niemanden zu geben, der für die Entsorgung zuständig ist. Die Bewohner der umliegenden Gebiete sind deshalb zunehmend besorgt über die Hygiene und die Auswirkungen auf das Stadtbild.

at Schloßstraße underground station and under the Tiburtius Bridge, the garbage is stacked. The smell is uncomfortable on every corner. This problem causes trouble and resentment among residents and passers -by.

In the area of the Schloßstraße underground station and under the Tiburtius Bridge, a large garbage collection has formed, which has steadily increased over the past few weeks. The garbage is piling up there and there seems to be anyone who is responsible for disposal. The inhabitants of the surrounding areas are therefore increasingly concerned about hygiene and the effects on the cityscape.

The pictures taken on site show a worrying state. Plastic waste, packaging material, leftovers and other waste are scattered. The smell is literally noticeable and causes discomfort in many people.

The causes of this situation are diverse. On the one hand, there is obviously missing sufficient garbage cans or waste bins near the train station and the bridge. There also seems to be a problem with the garbage collection. Residents report that the garbage disposal only gets over irregularly and that the waste is often not disposed of over a longer period of time.

But who is responsible for cleaning and disposing this garbage? The Steglitz-Zehlendorf district office states that the cleaning of the Schloßstraße underground station is the responsibility of the BVG, while the Tiburtius Bridge is cleaned by the civil engineering office. However, there seems to be miscommunication or an overlap of responsibilities, since this condition has been going on for weeks.

The residents now hope that those responsible will react quickly and eliminate the mountains of garbage. A solution should be found not only from aesthetic point of view, but also in the sense of cleanliness and hygiene. People who use Schloßstraße underground station every day should not be confronted with such a sight.

In addition, the awareness and responsibility of the citizens should also be strengthened. It is important that each individual disposed of their garbage properly and also contributes to the fact that public places remain clean. Common action and good communication between the responsible authorities and the residents are of great importance here. This is the only way to find a permanent solution to get the garbage problem under control in these places.

It remains to be seen how quickly those responsible will react and take the necessary measures. The residents and passers-by hope that the sight and smell will improve in the near future and the Schloßstraße underground station and the Tiburtius Bridge are clean and appealing again.
