Illegal landfill on Schafberg: residents in turmoil!

A newly discovered illegal landfill ensures great excitement among the residents. According to My district found huge quantities of industrial waste, including cable remains in blue waste bags were unloaded. The resentment among those affected is great, not least because a resident announces his unwillingness in a Facebook group and thus mobilizing other neighbors.

The origin of the garbage raises questions. Some residents suspect that the waste could come from a construction company that recently worked on a radio mast. Another resident reported that the garbage was previously removed regularly, a development that makes the area to be even more regrettable. The waste management of the MA 48 was not informed about the landfill, which also exacerbates the Situation.

legal consequences and responsibilities

environmental protection is a serious topic in Austria, and illegal waste disposal is one of the greatest challenges. The Vienna Reinhaltegesetz provides for penalties of up to 1,000 euros for the contamination of public areas. According to AppTastic , the duties of the waste assault are clearly regulated: waste must be properly separated, stored and disposed of. If non -compliance, not only fines, but also criminal consequences.

District head Peter Jagsch (SPÖ) confirmed that the garbage actually came from a construction company that had claimed the temporary storage space in Josef-Redl-Gasse. It should be emphasized positively that the garbage has now been removed, which at least temporarily relieves the concerns of the residents.

Krone of an illegal deposition near the property at the Krautgarten, where residents are confronted with building rubble and discarded furniture. The operations of the responsible authorities, such as MA 48 and WasteWatcher, do not fruit because the area is considered a private ground. Despite repeated complaints, the situation is confusing and the dissatisfied neighbors are turning to politicians like FPÖ councilor Anton Mahdalik to seek support.

The authorities have assured that a solution is being worked on, but an attempted disposal failed due to the bankruptcy of the responsible company. Such incidents illustrate how important it is to find sustainable solutions for waste disposal and to strengthen the awareness of environmental protection in the population.

Overall, the current problem shows that illegal garbage deposits not only represent an environmental threat, but also significantly impair the quality of life of the residents. Preventive measures, educational campaigns and close cooperation between citizens, authorities and environmental protection organizations are all the more important.
