Students design motifs for greater cleanliness – 400 trash cans will be decorated with stickers
In Weiterstadt, an unusual project is starting to improve cleanliness in public spaces: Around 400 trash cans in the city will be decorated with colorful stickers designed by students of the Albrecht-Dürer-School in the coming weeks.
Opening event with the mayor and award winners
, Nisanur Cekircek, Marlene Hamm, and Mara Unruh, officially launched the project together with Mayor Ralf Möller at the calisthenics park. Despite the rainy weather, the students personally applied the first stickers – a symbolic moment for the joint project between the city administration and the school.
"These stickers are more than just decoration," Möller emphasized. "They represent creativity, participation, and a strong statement from young people in favor of cleaner public spaces."
Competition with creativity and humor
Last summer, students from the Albrecht Dürer School, under the guidance of Selma Dogan and Nora Schmöckel, submitted numerous designs. Three motifs particularly impressed the jury and were selected for production. With their humorous and eye-catching designs, the stickers will serve as a charming reminder to dispose of waste properly.
The municipal works department brings motifs to the city
The stickers are being gradually attached to the trash cans by employees of the municipal works department – especially in high-traffic areas such as playgrounds, school routes, and parks. "For our students, this is a great confirmation of their work – and perhaps also an incentive for further creative projects," the teachers explained.
