Everything good from the sea is a little more lonely but pleasant at the bottom of the inner harbor, after everything bad from the sea has been fished out over the last few days.
As part of the annual spring-cleaning of the Copenhagen inner harbour has the company City & Port sent divers into the water to collect scrap and junk up.
Now enthroned junk from the seabed itself up in an almighty heap on Refshaleøen.
– It is the most bikes, caféstole, tables, road signs, scaffolding. There are many fun things, says Morten Johansen, who is the harbor master for the City & Harbour, which are responsible for operation and maintenance of the Port of Copenhagen.
Behind him is a small mountain of paraphernalia from the docks piled up.
– It continues to surprise me that we each and every year can be through with to gather as much up. It is a little boring. We had rather seen that there was less to pick up, he says.
– Besides that a lot of people lose their bikes, it’s also polluting. And such, I think not, you have to treat everybody’s harbour. We have a lovely harbour, which is becoming more and more recreational, and as we bathe in. So I hope it gets better at some point.
It is especially the two-wheeled bikes, that end up in the harbour. But also a newcomer, two-wheel transport is starting to be a large part of the havneskraldet.
– We have found a part of the electricity scooters, which are completely new in the city. It has indeed not been here for so long in the city, but I think we have found a 10-15 pieces. I’m thinking, how many can it not be for over a year? I am a little appalled, says Morten Johansen.
Skraldebunken will be in the course of the next days run to waste, where it is either destroyed or recycled.
