Stuttgart is fighting against the old clothing crisis: Suspension of fees decided!

Stuttgart, Deutschland - in Stuttgart, the situation on the old clothing market is increasingly tense. Non -profit organizations expect a flood -like increase in inferior clothing in old clothing containers. This means that the economic recovery of the collected textiles is becoming increasingly difficult. The pressure on these organizations, which operate old clothing containers in Stuttgart, grows because they can hardly achieve revenues for their important work. As reported [stuttgart.de] (https://www.stuttgart.de/service/aktuelle-morten/2025/juli/stadt-stuttgart-reiaGiert-auf-schwier-lage-am-markt-fuer- Altextilien.php), six organized carriers have therefore required measures to support their work.

In order to maintain the non -profit work and ensure the comprehensive recording and recycling of old clothes, the city of Stuttgart will temporarily suspend the special use fee for the listing of the containers. So far, a fee of 298 euros per cancellation had to be paid annually. This permit is granted by the Office for Public Order for three years and is no longer valid until further notice.

non -profit collections in focus

The current challenge is not an isolated case, but affects many municipalities that have to critically review the separate recording of old textiles. According to vku.de are the charitable collections on the test bench. The new requirement for separate recording requires an attractive and high -quality recovery, whereby the role of these organizations is re -evaluated.

Especially with regard to the quality of the old clothes and the questions of the authorizations to set up collective containers in the public street space, cooperations between public disposal institutions and non -profit institutions are of great importance. An upcoming event for the “separate collection of old textiles” on November 14, 2024 should be a valuable opportunity for many participants. It offers space for an exchange of experiences for collective concepts and the question of how to better integrate citizens.

an outlook on the future

The city of Stuttgart is aware of the current challenges and takes precautions to improve the situation. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming months and whether the city's measures will bring the desired success. The idea is to give the collectors a good hand again so that even the valuable fabrics in the flood of inferior clothing do not go under.
