Types of waste and disposal routes
The employees at the Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe depot do more than just collect waste. The so-called full service for the collection of residual waste and organic waste for over 54,000 residents means that six teams, a total of 30 waste workers, collect around 10,500 residual waste garbage cans every 14 days and around 9,000 organic waste garbage cans every week from the property, empty them and put them back again. There are also 2.5 crews for the collection of waste paper in the partial service in the Bad Homburg city area. At the efficient, environmentally friendly recycling depot, a total of 5 employees collect a further 6,700 tons of waste from citizens every year. In total, the Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe depot disposes of around 30,000 tons of waste per year in this way.
