On Tuesday, February 27, 2025, a particularly disturbing case of environmental pollution came to light in the Regensburg district: Unknown persons had illegally dumped several bags of garbage – presumably including old tires and household waste – on an embankment near Kneiting. The incident took an additional turn when an employee of the road construction authority plowed the area with a mulcher, shredding the illegally dumped waste into thousands of small pieces.
