Street cleaning
Description
Street cleaning is regulated in the street cleaning statutes of your municipality. The municipalities may impose the obligation to clean up in whole or in part on local residents. But you can also carry out the street cleaning yourself and in this case the residents to the costs.

Street cleaning obligations
Unfortunately, property owners whose properties are located within built-up areas do not always clean them as required by the bylaws. Perhaps this is because not all property owners are aware of their cleaning obligations. The Giessen municipal cleaning department has therefore summarized the most important information in a leaflet (see "Documents").

One more important note
The hazard prevention ordinance contains a brief but important paragraph relating to street cleaning and winter road maintenance:
§ 6 Roadways and sidewalks
(1) It is forbidden to place garbage, mud, garbage, snow, ice sheets, sand, gravel and other objects that prevent water from draining onto public roads, gutters, gullies or culverts.
Please observe this paragraph; we also comply with it. Violations may result in severe fines.
