Did you know that the waste management department of Aachener Stadtbetrieb empties more than 165,000 individual waste containers (organic/residual/paper) and thus collects around 33,000 tons of residual waste, around 12,000 tons of organic waste and around 10,000 tons of waste paper every year? In the waste education department and at the recycling centers, employees provide environmentally conscious advice and assistance. The Aachen Waste Watchers are the contact persons for citizens, raise awareness and help with questions about cleanliness and waste disposal.
