Dozens of tons of prohibited waste are said to have been buried in the ‘brick kiln’ in St. Pölten – a raid now increases suspicion!
“The conditions in the brick kiln are terrible; everything there has been stinking to high heaven for a long time. We discovered tons of filled residual waste bags, mattresses, plastic buckets and indefinable colorful plastic packaging. “Hundreds of residual waste are also sticking out of the ground on the eastern slopes of the waste mountain,” says Greenpeace activist Stefan Stadler in horror.
Advice from environmentalists
This is precisely the picture of a deepening environmental scandal that emerged after the country’s waste experts carried out an unannounced inspection of the St. Pölten landfill because of precisely these tips from environmentalists. Apparently an urgent need of the hour: within a few weeks, several thousand tons of waste had been dumped on an area of about 15,000 square meters and quickly buried.
Landfill temporarily closed
The apparently illegal dumping led to the huge pile of manure being temporarily closed. Samples were immediately taken and those responsible – the operator is the waste recycling company Zöchling from Hainfeld, which is extremely busy throughout the country – were questioned. According to the first investigations by the “garbage police”, it probably concerns “large amounts of illegal waste”. The presumption of innocence applies. “Everything was thrown in wildly. And that is gross negligence,” says Greenpeace activist Stadler. The raid also calls on the Greens: “St. After this revelation, Pölten can literally breathe a sigh of relief.”
