As waste producers, we want to support our customers in the consistent separation and return of their waste into the raw material cycle.

A service that complies with waste legislation is required, which we can guarantee you as a certified waste management company in accordance with Section 56 KrW- / AbfG and a member of the bvse disposal association.

Despite the long history of the medium-sized family company , we have always kept our flexibility as our greatest strength. Containers are often dispatched within a few minutes .

We are directly active in the greater Cologne area, the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis, the Oberbergischer Kreis, the Rhein-Sieg Kreis, the Erftkreis, the cities of Bergisch Gladbach, Leverkusen and Bonn. In addition, Gerfer Recycling covers North Rhine-Westphalia nationwide through medium-sized cooperation partners.

From consultation, a joint site visit, creating an individual waste concept , about logistically optimized container systems and a flexible Anlieferservice to the environmentally sound recovery and disposal by recycling law and its documentation , we offer everything from a single source.

Our entire process is already digitized. Instead of paper delivery notes, our drivers now use tablet computers; all receipts are sent digitally and can be accessed directly from our customer portal after the initial setup.
