First exchange meeting in the Biberach district: used instead of garbage!

in the Biberach district starts on Saturday, October 26th, the first exchange meeting, a pilot project to reuse used household items and toys instead of throwing them away. The motto "Submit instead of throwing away" aims to reduce garbage and waste in the sense of sustainability. Last year, the district had collected over 88,000 tons of garbage and recycling materials, many things of which are often still functional, according to the authorities.

The exchange meeting will take place on the last Saturday of every month. If you want to hand in functioning devices such as vacuum cleaners or stereo systems, you can hand it over and take new items with you for free. The first event will be held in the warehouse of the Reute Musikverein near Mittelbiberach from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. If successful, further exchange meetings are planned in other municipalities, as the district office explains, and the idea could be permanently established. The initiative receives support from an association that provides a room, as well as financial help from the Pro Bono BC Foundation of the Kreissparkasse Biberach to promote environmental engagement.
