Together for a clean Ruhr: RuhrCleanUp in Wetter full of success 14.09.2021 On Saturday, September 11th, many volunteers responded to the call from the city and municipal authorities to take part in the nationwide event "RuhrCleanUp". After the successful premiere last year, the rubbish collection campaign enjoyed great popularity again this year. In the late morning, in the best weather, around 40 helpers came to the city's premises, and after a brief briefing, equipped with gloves, tongs and garbage bags, they whizzed to various places in the city. In addition to the Ruhr with its floodplains, the Schnodderbach in Alt-Wetter was also in focus. It had overflowed its banks during the floods in July and caused great damage. After three hours the result was remarkable: over a ton of rubbish was collected, Numerous filled sacks piled up on the vehicles of the municipal authority, which transported the garbage to its depot for disposal. Unlike the last time, when many larger items were recovered, this time it was essentially plastic waste. It is all the more remarkable that around 50 bags came together last weekend. Sometimes individual pieces of plastic had to be plucked from the trees like fruit. It was impressively demonstrated how high the water was in July. But the flood is not responsible for all the rubbish: Unfortunately, it is also observed again and again that garbage is carelessly disposed of in nature. Campaigns such as “RuhrCleanUp” are intended to raise awareness of the need to rethink one's own behavior. who transported the garbage to his depot for disposal.

The city and the city authorities are happy about the good participation and thank all helping hands. The thanks include the local clubs SG Demag and Ruder-Club Mark, who have also actively helped.
