NABU environmental protection warnings in Germany

Overview

The Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) has issued a warning regarding the illegal disposal of garden waste, including shrubs, grass, and hedge clippings, in forests or open fields.

NABU notes that such dumping is illegal and can lead to significant fines, potentially reaching four or five-digit amounts depending on the volume and the specific federal state. The organization further warns that these actions damage soil quality and facilitate the spread of non-native species. Recommended disposal methods include using municipal collection points, composting facilities, organic waste bins, or on-site composting.
