Speyer in excitement: disposal problems and chaos on bus routes!
In Speyer, there is a huge problem in municipal waste management. Numerous citizens are angry about the services of the Speyer waste disposal company (EBS). The focus is particularly on the waste paper bags that were left lying around and were set out for collection but were not picked up. This not only causes dissatisfaction, but also raises questions about the efficiency of local waste disposal. As it turns out, it's not just the waste paper bags that are a problem: residents also complain about haphazard road closures and randomly changing bus routes, which significantly impact everyday life in the city. Many feel abandoned by the city administration, which is further illustrated by a caricature by Uwe Herrmann. The Rhine Palatinate reported on these grievances and their impact on the quality of life in Speyer.
But what exactly does the situation in waste disposal look like? The city of Speyer may have a waste management plan, but it has room for improvement. The city's official website explains how citizens can dispose of their waste correctly. There is a central contact point, the waste management yard (AWH), where both household and commercial waste is accepted. The list of accepted waste is long and ranges from green waste and electrical appliances to bulky waste and old tires. However, if you want to avoid the waste being left outside your own four walls, you must ensure that an appointment is required for delivery. There are only exceptions on Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. when you can deliver without an appointment. This regulation is intended to help avoid traffic jams and make things run more smoothly at the AWH. On the city website Those interested can find further information about waste disposal.
How much does disposal cost?
The fee schedule at the waste management yard is clear and structured. For example, residual waste in an 80 liter bag costs 6.50 euros. A fee is also charged for bulky waste, which depends on the amount: up to 200 kg it costs a flat rate of 2.00 euros, over 200 kg it is billed according to weight. However, the disposal of green waste is free for private households. These and many other fees can be viewed on the Waste Management Office website.
