Today in Rhein-Main: Batteries in household waste

Good evening,

The Hessian FDP has named a top candidate for the state elections in autumn 2023, the Frankfurt SPD a top candidate for the mayoral election in March, otherwise there is still good Christmas market weather to report, nice evening!

Oh no,

we're going to be a little more detailed now.

The state elections are still far away, they will be sometime in the fall, but the parties are reasonably preparing for it.

A party convention of the Free Democrats decided on Saturday that their top candidate should be the former mayor of Steinbach, Stefan Naas.

He got 93 percent of the votes.

Our state parliament correspondent Ewald Hetrodt describes him in his commentary as a "candidate with ambition" who has a veritable CV to show.

Whether Naas can become Minister of Economics in a state government, as he himself hopes, depends less on his own qualifications and more on the general weather situation in nine months.

We will see.

Mike Josef

does have a great job, he is head of planning in Frankfurt, which in this busy city where there is constant construction, can be described as one of the nicest offices in the city administration.

But now he would like to move into an even nicer office, that of the mayor, which has been orphaned for four weeks.

At the party conference of the SPD in Frankfurt, he even received 97 percent for his suggestion, which surprised our reporter Rainer Schulze, because not every comrade thought it was good that Peter Feldmann was voted out with the support of his own party, the SPD.

Point.

Unit volume.

Other topic.

97 percent of the citizens of the Rhine-Main area should know for sure that batteries should not be disposed of with household waste.

Then why do so many do it?

The Frankfurt FES, which takes care of the garbage in the Main metropolis, reports an increasing number of fires in the garbage sorting plants because batteries are increasingly found where they don't belong.

It can also be very small batteries that are found in flashing greeting cards that cause such trouble, as Mechthild Harting writes.

So: watch out for the trash can!

And in addition

I wish you a pleasant evening before the Advent wreath

Yours, Manfred Koehler
