Keeping Heidelberg clean

Together we can do it

In the year 2017, Heidelberg City Administration spent some 5.9 million euros on keeping Heidelberg looking its best, pursuing a multi-pronged approach to achieve this. But without the public’s involvement, these efforts would be in vain.

Everyone has their part to play

There are plenty of ways in which members of the public can help keep litter and grime at bay. For example, each year around 2,500 people get their hands dirty in the Heidelberg ‘spring clean.’ 

It is also extremely easy to report grimy corners, broken glass, and fly tipping, either by telephone, or by using the ‘Mein Heidelberg’ (My Heidelberg) app. 

In addition, regular ‘cleanliness patrols’ give residents an opportunity to alert the responsible city employees to problem areas in their neighborhood.
