The municipality of Gretzenbach disposes of green waste and rubbish from a newly built apartment block via two “waste houses” from Hunkeler Systeme AG and charges them according to the source. The fact that all waste is collected and disposed of at a central location was a convincing factor.
Last summer, the municipality of Gretzenbach moved into a new building with flats and a small shop. At the same time, waste management was reorganised. Residents dispose of their organic waste and rubbish in two “waste houses” from by Hunkeler Systeme AG. Billing is based on the polluter-pays principle. Users pay for the exact amount of waste they dispose of. The weight of the waste is recorded using an internal scale and the corresponding amount of money is charged using a personalised card.
