Schillchaos in the Esslingen district: biotons are stacked in front of the doors!

In the Esslingen district, numerous organic and residual waste bins have been untouched on the road edges for weeks. These problems with the weekly emptying are due to considerable personnel failures by the commissioned disposal company Prezero. The waste management company (AWB) has already threatened consequences because the situation for citizens, especially at high temperatures, is intolerable. AWB Managing Director Michael Potthast made it clear that despite repeated emergency plans to pick up the tons that have stopped, no implementation was carried out. The problems have existed since Prezero 2022 has taken over the garbage disposal in the eastern district.

In addition to the shift of the pick-up times for residual and organic waste, to 6 a.m. to protect the staff from the heat, the AWB announced that the next regular collection date will be co-gentlemen in closed sacks next to the ton. The AWB also checks the termination of the cooperation with Prezero, since structural problems in disposal were also found in other counties. Contract penalties for services not provided are also retained.

failure and controls

Another problem that burdens waste disposal in the Esslingen district are the frequent failure in the biotons. The most common causers are plastic bags, coffee capsules and packaging. These contaminants significantly make the exploitation of the vegetable waste in the Kirchheim composting plant considerably more difficult. In order to improve the situation, the AWB plans sample checks to reduce these failures. The new managing director, Michael Potthast, announced that the waste disposal company can now provide personnel capacities for unannounced controls. In view of a total of 95,000 biotons in the district, however, only sample controls are possible, which also complicated the challenge.

FAZIT

The waste problem in the Esslingen district requires urgent measures and closer cooperation between the AWB and the commissioned disposal company. Citizens are dependent on reliable waste disposal, especially in the current heat period.
