A strike at Remondis, a waste management company servicing Essen and other parts of western Germany, has halted trash collection services due to industrial action by workers represented by the Verdi trade union. The strike began on Monday, resulting in uncollected trash across multiple municipalities. Residents are experiencing growing piles of rubbish, leading to advice for handling excess waste. The strike affects various regions including North Rhine-Westphalia and has disrupted not only general waste collection but also recycling services. The situation is expected to continue until after the Easter holidays.
Workers at the Remondis branch in Essen were called to strike by the Verdi trade union since Monday, causing trash collection in several areas to pause.
Residents whose plastic and food container trash will have piled up considerably are advised to put any extra waste in standard transparent waste bags.
