The history of garbage disposal begins with the fact that in the 15th century it no longer seemed acceptable to dump household and commercial waste and even human excrement on streets or in city streams. Since then, the waste from the cities has been brought to the surrounding fields. How badly this must have worked is shown by the complaint from the Cologne City Council in 1579, 'that the residents keep it very unclean and unclean in front of their houses and inheritances'. Until well into the 20th century, garbage disposal mostly transported garbage to garbage dumps.

The first waste incineration plant was built in England in 1876. Hamburg was the first German city to follow in 1896. At the beginning of the 20th century, the motorization of the vehicle fleet began, first with battery-powered pre-tensioning vehicles and later through the use of vehicles with internal combustion engines.

The first waste glass containers appeared in Germany at the end of the 1970s, then waste paper containers in the mid-1980s and, from the 1990s, garbage cans for packaging waste marked with the green dot and the organic waste bin for compostable waste. The garbage collection differentiated more and more the garbage, in an effort to correspond to the recycling idea of ​​the emerging environmental protection movement.

For more than 35 years, our company has been active in the interests of environmental protection and the cleanliness of our Saarland. We collect the waste glass from the glass containers throughout the Saarland, we empty the blue bins in 20 municipalities and remove the yellow bags in several districts both on behalf of the dual systems and the organic, bulky and residual waste on behalf of the EVS .

Our company employs over 100 people in the workshop, warehouse, transshipment point and on the vehicles. We are out and about every day to satisfy you and to keep the environment clean.
