Frosty danger: garbage disposal in Bad Dürkheim in danger!

Winter road conditions are a challenge for the garbage disposal in Bad Dürkheim. According to a report by the Wochenblatt Reporter, there could be increasing losses in waste disposal in the coming days. Higher layers and tight roads are particularly affected, which are more difficult to drive on in snow and ice.

The district's waste management company (AWB) pointed out the increased accident risks and explains that snow chains do not represent a permanent solution because they can cause road damage. In order to do justice to the situation, the citizens were given some information. These include, among other things, that garbage vessels should be provided by 6 a.m.

Important information for the citizens

If the tons are not emptied at the usual collection time, they should stop until evening. Residents whose streets are not cleared are asked to bring their tons to the nearest cleared road, provided this is possible. If a ton has not been emptied, waste that no longer fits may be made next to the vessels at the next regular collection date. It should be noted that no recycling bags may be used for residual waste and that only boxes or paper bags are permitted for organic waste.

For unmatched recycling bags and paper bins, it is true that they have to be provided again. More quantities on paper can be placed in boxes next to the paper bin. Citizens who have no storage options can deliver cardboard boxes, paper or recycling bags during opening hours at the recycling centers in Friedelsheim, Haßloch and Grünstadt. Questions about the waste collection can be addressed directly to the AWB disposition on 06322 961-5599

tips for avoiding emptying problems

An additional problem is frosty temperatures that lead to waste freezing in biotons and empowering emptying. The waste management company gave some tips to avoid freezing. This includes laying out the bottom of the bin with newspaper and moist kitchen waste thickened thickly in newspaper or in paper bags. The tons should be kept close to the house wall, under one roof or in the garage.

In addition, it is recommended to remove snow from the containers and the paths to the roadside to ensure access for the disposal vehicles. Access from the waste container to the disposal vehicle should remain fully. Further tips on the waste collection in winter were compiled by Veolia.de, which suggested to the citizens to protect the tonnens from freezing and to loosen the content from emptying, especially at temperatures below freezing.

In addition, it is requested to provide the containers on the morning of the disposal day until 6 a.m. and to consider the removal plans and changes in the collection calendar in poor weather conditions.
