Mecklenburgische Seenplatte: Composting Preferred for Garden Waste, Burning Allowed Under Strict Rules
Residents of the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte district are reminded of the rules surrounding garden waste management. While burning is permitted in certain circumstances, composting basics is the preferred method.
Garden waste, including leaves, branches, and twigs, should ideally be composted. This process creates valuable humus or topsoil. Before composting, it's recommended to shred branches and twigs to speed up the rotting process.
In exceptional cases, burning garden waste is allowed in March and October, between 8:00 and 18:00. However, this should only be done if other disposal methods are not possible or reasonable. It's important to note that burning garden waste is illegal throughout the year in many communities, such as Neubrandenburg and Neustrelitz.
The district has 14 waste disposal centers, making the exception for burning less applicable. Alternatives to burning include composting or using local garbage disposal services for proper disposal.
