05 October 2022, Brandenburg, Frankfurt (Oder): A truck loaded with garbage and waste is inspected by authorities during a cross-border waste inspection at a rest area near the A12 freeway. As part of a German-Polish working meeting on cross-border waste shipments, German and Polish authorities inspected waste transports heading for Poland on the same day on the A12 freeway. The aim of the joint action was to check compliance with waste export regulations, to uncover illegal cross-border waste transports and to prevent them in the future. At the same time, cross-border cooperation between the authorities involved was to be strengthened in this way. In recent years, serious violations have been identified, especially for waste such as waste electrical equipment, automotive components, construction site waste or plastic mixtures. Such illegal shipments have a high potential to harm the environment, especially if they are disposed of in unsuitable places. Photo: Patrick Pleul/dpa
