5 Waste collection systems (kerbside system) Residual waste: bins ( Liter) Bremer Müllsack (70 Liter) Biowaste: bins (60-90 Liter) paper and cardboard: bins ( Liter), bundle collection Lightweight packaging: yellow bins ( Liter), yellow bag Collection every 2 weeks: residual- and bio waste or paper and yellow bag bulky waste and christmas trees: collection by order at the roadside Folie 5

6 Waste collection systems (bring system) 300 public containerplaces: glas, textiles (ca. 230), small electrical equipment (10 since spring 2014 for a test) 130 containerplaces on private ground: glas, paper and cardboard (big housing enterprises) Truck for hazardous substances 15 Recycling-Stations: Garden waste, paper and cardboard, scrap, WEEE, construction waste, textiles and others, some recyclingstation have restrictions for specific waste Folie 6

8 Coded bin Standard PAYT-Systen in Bremen Introduced in 1995 by the City of Bremen Charges remined stable until 2013, system changed in some points in 2014 (basic charge, minimum volume of 15 l/e, more charge-fairness, charge for business) Today every bin for residual waste, paper and biowaste is encoded by chip Useful for control (to whom belongs the bin, where is it, etc.) Every emptying of a waste bin is counted, not paper- and biobin The charge includes all services No extra charge for biobin, bulky waste, use of recycling stations etc. Responsible to pay the charge is the owner of a property Folie 8

9 Waste disposal charges basic charge: household or 120 m 2 business Since Folie 9

10 Waste collection by lock-system Introduced by a private housing enterprise (GEWOBA) in January 2014 One neighbourhood with app flats / residents Objective is to save money (waste charges) for residents and GEWOBA by reducing the volume from 42 l/e to 25 l/e or less The years before a contracted company sorted the residual waste to reach 42 l/e l bins in a closed box with 2 doors (5 l and 20 l) Users can open the doors with electronic chips, every use is counted The charge will be calculate at the end of the year by dividing the charge Gewoba has to pay by the number of usings, but basic charge System is added by bins for paper and light-weight-packaging Folie 10

11 Use of the lock-system Folie 11

12 Experiences with the lock-system System is not in use for paper bins and yellow bins for lightweight packagings System is not practical for bulky waste like the system before System is expensive Starter problems decreased GEWOBA says 92% of residents use the system properly and 85% of the yellow bins and 90% of the paper bins are filled correctly Amount of residual waste decrease Amount of packaging waste and paper increase Not because of better sorting but because of more waste in these systems More problems with rats and crows because some people put their waste alongside the bins, foreign people use the recovery bins Some people wanted a biobin, so it was introduced at some places for a test Test failured because of too much waste in the biobins, cleaning problem After sorting tests they were brought to incineration directly Folie 12
