News about the collection in the district

The Alba Niedersachsen-Anhalt GmbH took over the collection of yellow recycling sacks in the Hameln-Pyrmont district on January 1, 2025. This happened as part of the tender of the dual system that the company won for a period of three years. Before that, Prezero was responsible for the 14-day collection and removal in the district until the end of 2024.

This is a volume of around 5,000 tons of light packaging made of plastic and metal, which are to be collected annually. Alba plans to attribute these materials to the raw material cycle. The logistics and the envelope of the recycling materials are organized from Barsinghausen, with around ten employees plus reservists ready for the collection. The correct separation of the waste is particularly important in order to avoid misconceptions in the yellow sack and the yellow tons, such as euwid-recycling.de
