  • Specific problem area reported near city hall with high feces density

According to officials, many people are reacting to the large amounts of dog feces that have emerged in the thaw this spring. Jim Hedström in Västerås made an angry post on social media after counting the piles of dog feces on his walk, and he experiences it as 'worse than ever' and is far from alone. He expressed surprise and anger about people's laziness, according to his social media post.

Leaving dog feces in places where others move can be a violation of the Environmental Code and result in an 800 kronor littering fine, officials noted. Västerås city has no special handling for dog feces, according to the municipality. Aftonbladet reports there is a high density of feces near the city hall.

I become both surprised and angry about how lazy people are.

It is unknown how many piles of dog feces were counted exactly by Jim Hedström, what specific measures, if any, are being taken by Västerås city to address the dog feces issue, and how widespread the problem is on paths and cycleways across Västerås.
