Around 18 Tons of Waste Collected in Nuremberg After New Year’s Night
After New Year’s night, municipal services in Nuremberg began extensive cleanup operations across streets and public spaces. The work started early on January 1 at 4:00 a.m., when employees of the city’s Servicebetrieb Öffentlicher Raum (SÖR) were deployed to clean central areas of the city.
A total of 32 workers took part in the cleanup. They removed remnants of fireworks, used pyrotechnic items, bottles, and other waste left behind after New Year’s celebrations. In total, approximately 18 tons of waste were collected.
Cleanup efforts focused on areas with high pedestrian traffic, including central squares and nearby streets, such as the area around Lorenzer Platz. A significant portion of the waste consisted of bulky and potentially hazardous fireworks debris, which had to be removed manually. The teams were supported by small street sweepers and two large municipal cleaning vehicles.
In some parts of the city, cleanup progressed more slowly than usual. This was due to weather conditions: snowfall required priority winter maintenance of roads and sidewalks, temporarily delaying full waste removal.
The city administration asked residents to dispose of their own fireworks debris and holiday waste where possible in order to help speed up the cleanup process.
