Someone from Germany please correct me, but aren't you required to keep the street in front of your house clean? I was amazed at how clean Germany was, then I went to Switzerland, even cleaner. Amazing.
- mynewtb 10y agoOnly in terms of hazards like snow and ice.
- majewsky 10y agoExactly. There is no cleanliness requirement, but if someone gets injured because of snow and ice on your part of the way, you are liable.
- kuschku 10y agoWell, in most parts of Germany, cleaning crews clean the sidewalk at least once a day, too. Usually between 5 and 6am, that helps keep them clean, too. (I’m a German who usually wakes up from the sound in the morning)
- enjoy-your-stay 10y agoSwitzerland is pretty clean, and it's largely due to the Swiss culture, and the fact that there's plenty of bins which are regularly cleaned and emptied. However There's one class of people who believe that it's their God given right to litter wherever and whenever they want, and that's smokers. You can especially see it around Tram stops where people are waiting around and will quite happily throw their cigarette butts on the ground or pavement when the tram approaches.
