The Environmental Agency of the City of Chemnitz provides information on setting off fireworks, which is a traditional part of the New Year.
All important information on New Year's Eve fireworks is summarised at www.chemnitz.de/feuerwerk. Questions about fireworks are answered, such as How can I recognise safe fireworks?, Which fireworks can I buy?, Where and when can I set off fireworks? and How can I store fireworks?
There is also information on protecting wildlife. There are also answers to questions afterwards, such as: Do I have to clear away my rubbish myself? and When will the ASR come and clear it away? Last but not least, the Environmental Agency provides information on how high the fine dust pollution is and how loud it really is.
For a successful New Year's Eve fireworks display, it is recommended that you follow these tips in particular:
- Less is more,
- only buy tested fireworks,
- watch out for other people and especially children,
- keep a sufficient distance,
- do not set off fireworks in the vicinity of wildlife nesting sites and
- clear rubbish yourself with caution.
