On Wednesday, the annual spring clean officially got underway across Mittweida – schools, clubs, businesses and members of the public volunteered to collect rubbish that had accumulated in the town’s public spaces and green areas.

Staff at HSMW also heeded the call, picked up their litter pickers and spent an afternoon clearing our campus of rubbish. They found countless cigarette ends, bottle caps, plastic packaging, lighters, glass and plastic bottles, old headphones, pieces of road signs and other oddities. The picture below serves as yet another reminder that all this rubbish is not only unsightly but also highly harmful to the environment and takes an eternity to decompose.

We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all those who took part and hope to inspire even more members of the university community to join in next year’s spring clean!
