The six areas affected are Blaha Lujza, Deák Ferenc, Etele, Örs vezér and Széll Kálmán Square, and the Kőbánya-Kispest metro terminal, he added in the post.

Area wardens will wear a uniform bearing the Budapest Public Utilities logo, performing their duties from dawn till late in the evening, Karácsony said.

“The cleanliness of Budapest, our shared home, is our common cause: we are working hard on it, purchasing new equipment, having new rubbish bins designed, and launching an area warden service. But we also have to look after our shared home together,” the mayor said.
