The future of waste disposal systems in Bochum

Several underfloor and above-ground systems have been in continuous operation in Bochum since 2018. They are emptied regularly by five of the city's vehicles.

The starting point
Bochum wanted to centralise waste disposal and reduce traffic congestion. The previous systems were overfilled and aesthetically unattractive. The goal was to create a robust, scalable and durable solution.

The solution
In 2018, Villiger installed type 730 underground systems and type 800 above-ground systems. Since the end of 2018, the systems have been emptied regularly by five municipal vehicles. The systems run reliably, offer high collection capacity and significantly reduce logistical effort.
