Recycling Yard

Current Situation

Stadtreinigung Hamburg (SRH) is the municipal solid waste and cleaning company and in charge of collecting, transporting and treating waste from approx. 1 Mio. households in Hamburg. With about 4.200 employees the concern SRH offers full-service in separat waste collection, urban cleanup and many other tasks for communal and private clients.

Currently the waste is either being collected at the households (but only residual, organic, paper and packaging materials) or citizens have to transport it to one of the city's twelve recycling yards. This faces a challenge especially when it comes to the much-needed development of car-free districts and mobility transition. SRH will bring this challenge to the MoLo Hubs and, as a public service provider, share the relevant expertise to jointly test viable solutions as part of the project.

Key Challenge

  • The waste management is currently handled by household collection (causing waste truck traffic) or recycling yards in industrial areas (causing car traffic)
  • No available solutions for newly developed car-free districts / neighbourhoods in the city

Possible Solutions

  • Neighbourhood collection points at mobility hubs as an intermediate between collection at source and recycling yards
  • Eased disposal, no need for additional traffic, cleaner waste streams, successful linkage to other services at the hubs > creation of synergies
