Dispose of old clothes: This is how you avoid overfilled in Ennepe-Ruhr!

The submission of old clothes has become common practice for many people. Instead of simply disposing of old trousers, jackets, shoes or bedding in residual waste, many citizens use the special containers that were set up for it. This recycling option is regarded by the district administration as a useful measure for recycling. However, as it turns out, the sales market for old clothes has subsided, which leads to overcrowded containers.

The Ennepe-Ruhr district, which is responsible for this container, has announced together with the waste disposal company AHE to improve the situation. In a message, the district administration explained on Thursday, October 10th: "There should therefore no longer any overfilled." This is a clear announcement that aims to optimize the capacities of the containers so that they overflow less frequently.

Avoidance of residual waste costs

A central point is the request to the citizens not to turn off any other items of clothing next to overcrowded containers. These items of clothing are not taken with them and are considered incapable of being able, which can lead to them only need to be disposed of as a costly residual waste. The increasing costs for such disposal are ultimately visible in the waste fees of the citizens, which is another incentive to properly use the containers.

A suitable alternative to submitting old clothes can be made by contacting local aid organizations. District associations such as the German Red Cross (DRK) or the Caritas Association often have clothing chambers where a tax is possible. This enables citizens to pass on their no longer needed clothing sensibly and at the same time prevent the containers from overflowing.

The challenge of overcrowded containers shows how important it is to make the delivery more practical and smooth. While the initiatives of the district administration and the AHE aim to improve the situation through regular controls, citizens are also responsible for finding out about the existing options and also using them. localaldirekt.de reports about the background of this problem and the measures for improvement the situation.
