Handling and sorting waste
The Disposal Center contains a state-of-the-art 20,000 m² waste-handling station. Since the Center offers every standard commercial disposal process, it can match any kind of waste to the most cost-effective way of disposing of it. The Disposal Center has a total capacity of 150,000 t/a, allowing it to offer exceptional availability and convenient waste drop-off times.
Every waste stream is recorded and tracked by state-of-the-art IT systems for as long as it remains in the Disposal Center. Certified laboratories do all the waste sampling and analysis. This means that, for example, potentially contaminated excavated soil can be classified correctly in accordance with waste-management laws and treated properly, effectively and at the lowest possible cost.
We also provide special smart cards that make accepting small quantities of waste a quick, painless process. Waste transport containers are provided, dropped off and picked up for you.
