Dealing with bicycle corpses in Pankow: Sustainable disposal and reprocessing
Bicycle corpses, also known as "scrap bikes", are a common annoyance in Pankow's public space. These abandoned bicycles block traffic hubs and represent an obstacle for all road users. In order to counteract this problem, the Pankow regulatory office carries out regular focus on the elimination of "scrap bikes".
Effective removal of "scrap bicycles" in Pankow
The second focus was on June 19 in 2024, in which another 103 "scrap bikes" were removed in the area of Danziger Strasse and Prenzlauer Allee. A total of 205 bicycle corpses could be successfully removed on the first two days of the campaign. These bikes are initially stored to ensure that they were not reported as stolen.
commitment to sustainable solutions
District City Councilor Manuela Anders-Granitzki emphasizes the importance of the focus campaigns: "With the regular inserts for the elimination of bicycle corpses, we help to keep traffic routes free for all citizens. Together with non-profit organizations, we can provide repair bicycles of new use and thus make a contribution to sustainability."
appointments for future missions
The Pankow regulatory office has set monthly days for the removal of “scrap bikes” for the second half of 2024. The next missions are planned for July 17th and August 14th. By the end of the year, a total of at least 800 bicycle corpses are to be collected and professional disposal or recycling are to be collected. This measure is financed from the "Clean City" campaign program.
