We turn your waste into something new!

Aluminum is a very valuable material in the waste cycle, since the production of new aluminum costs a high amount of energy. When recycling aluminum, only 5% of the energy is needed, that would have to be used when it would be produced from bauxite. The recycling rate of aluminum is at about 66% in Europe. We accept aluminum with iron adhesions (Alu Geschirr), aluminum sheets with color, plain aluminum, aluminum profiles as well as aluminum-dross-mixtures from production and crafts. We pay the current marked price. In case you have bigger amounts, we are happy to help you with a suitable container.

We are not allowed to accept asbestos and eternit at our recycling centers in any form, so also not as pipes and flower boxes. You can purchase eternit Big-Bags from us in various sizes that we can pick up at your construction site with our loading crane and directly drive it to the landfill. Amounts of under 20 tons are verified by our collective waste disposal order with a delivery receipt. In case you have asbestos in other forms, we would be happy to make you an offer by our subsidiary Rados AG for the proper dismantling. Please note the requirements by the TRGS 519 for any work with asbestos.

This includes asphalt containing tar and road surfaces containing tar. To ensure proper disposal, the material needs to be analyzed. We are happy to help you with this process and deliver a  appropriate container for temporary storage of the material. We are not allowed to accept these materials at our recycling yards.

Brass is a copper alloy containing zinc to 5-45%. Due to its yellow-isch to white color, different types of copper alloy are counted as brass in the recycling industry. This includes bronze (copper with tin), nickel silver (copper with nickel and zinc), tomba (67-95% copper and the rest of zinc) as well as special brass alloys or red brass. Common alloys are MS58 (58% copper and 42% zinc and lead) and MS63 (63% copper and 37% zinc). We accept any form of brass, as sheets, pieces or shavings and always pay the current market price.

Bulky waste from clearing out or renovating commercial grounds. This mostly includes everyday objects of mixed sorts, that need to be disposed or recycled as well as exhibition or presen­tation objects, cupboards, chairs, tables, curtains or similar. We are happy to help you with a suitable container for bigger amounts.

This includes copper and aluminum cables from electronical instal­lations. Depending on the profile, amount of copper and way of shielding (lead, zinc) we pay the current marked price, depending on the aluminum/ copper exchange. Niederöl­druckkabel or other underground cables are disposed by our subsidiary 'Rados AG' in its own disposing facility.

Carbide plays an important role when separating and chipping. Used or blunt HSS (High speed steel), Widia (wie Diamant) or VHM (Vollhart­metall) tools are too valuable to be dumped with the normal steel waste. Due to the high amount of wolfram, titanium or chromium they have a fairly high value. In case you have saw blades, drills or grinding and chipping tools made from hardened metal, you can deliver them to our recycling yards - we pay the current market price. We are also happy to pick up bigger amounts for you.

Scrap paper and cardboard wastes are important resources for the production of paper. By recycling paper and cardboard, less trees need to be cut and our natural resources are saved. About 2/3 of the german paper production come from recycled scrap paper. The recycling of scrap paper works especially well for the production of cardboard, wrapping material, newspaper and toilet paper. The scrap paper usually comes from printing houses or were used for packaging. It is sorted depending on its traits, its quality and further use. We accept scrap paper, as well as cardboard at our recycling yards. We are also happy to help you with a suitable container.

These mixtures of waste come from commercial enterprises and are assembled by multiple components that are recyclable. It can include a variety of different materials such as metals, scrap wood, rubble, scrap paper, cardboard, plastics and foils. It can not include wet waste, organic waste or similar. The individual materials need to be separated orderly as stated by the "Gewerbe­ab­fal­lverordnung".

Rubble is categorized as contam­inated if it meets the requirements of "Mitteilung 20 der LAGA" in the mapping value Z1 to Z5. Rubble of this category needs to be recycled by authorized facilities (Z1 and Z2) or disposed by a authorized facility (Z3 to Z5). We do not accept contam­inated rubble at our recycling yards. We are happy to help you with a suitable container, for example for temporary storage until your analysis is completed.

Copper is a soft metal that conducts electricity and heat very well, which is why it is used a lot in crafts, especially by electricians, sanitation and heating engineers, plumbers and roofing contractors. Recycled copper is qualita­tively equal to copper gained from ore, but the energy needed is much lower. About 45% of the copper needed in Germany is covered by recycled copper. Recycled copper is a great contri­bution to the environ­mental protection. We accept copper of all qualities, such as milberry, berry, copper sheets and mixed copper, as well as copper cables at out recycling yards and pay the current market prices.

Pieces of concrete with or without armoring, with a edge length of max. 80 cm. In case you have bigger pieces, please contact us.

To ensure the proper disposal of the pollutants contained in electronic devices, the "Elektro- und Elektron­ikgerätegesetz (ElektroG)" has regulations for accepting devices, taking them back and recycling them. This law implements the European guidelines WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). In general, private households are obligated to dispose their electronical devices at their local disposal provider. Alterna­tively they can be returned to a return system. We are a part of these return systems, so you are able to deliver your device to our recycling yards. We then dispose the devices lawfully. We also accept electronic devices from commercial customers.

Excavated soil is defined as contam­inated if it meets the criteria of "Mitteilung 20 der LAGA" with a mapping value Z1 or higher. Contam­inated excavated soil needs to be analyzed and assigned to category Z1 to Z5. Depending on the category, the excavated soil can be recycled by authorized centers (Z1 and Z2) or disposed (Z3 - Z5). We are not allowed to accept contam­inated excavated soil at our recycling yards. We are happy to help you with a suitable container though, also for temporary storage until the analysis is complete.

Excavated soil is defined as uncont­a­m­inated if it meets the criteria of  "Mitteilung 20 der LAGA" with a mapping value of Z0. Excavated soil classified as uncont­a­m­inated may be used again without restrictions. Contam­inated excavated soil needs to be analyzed and assigned to category Z1 to Z5. Depending on the category, the excavated soil can be recycled by authorized centers (Z1 and Z2) or disposed (Z3 - Z5). We accept uncont­a­m­inated excavated soil at our recycling yards. In case you have bigger amounts, we are happy to help you with a suitable container.

When disposing documents, you need to decide how sensible the information included is. Depending on that, there are different options of disposal.  If the files are not subject to data protection, you can deliver them directly to our recycling center. Confidential data needs to be categorized by your private commis­sioner into one of the three protection classes defined by DIN 66399. Depending on the protection class, there are seven protection levels, defining the produc­tivity of the data. Usually class 1 or 2 is enough for normal commercial data. In case you have sensible data or hard drives to destruct, we are happy to help you with a suitable safety container. In case you have a need for regular destruction of documents, we are happy to help you with an according container permanently with a regular emptying cycle.

You are welcome to deliver used or expired extinguishers to our recycling yards. We will dispose them properly, according to their contents. The "Abfall­rechtlicher Nachweis" is completed by a collective waste disposal certifi­cation including a certifi­cation code.

Clean foils, made from polyethylene (PE-Foils) including strechfilm foils, can be recycled very well. The difference is drawn between clear and colored foils. The foil can be printed on, but may not have any kind of pollution or stickers on them. Other items made from PE may not be mixed with the PE-Foils. We accept clean PE-Foils at our recycling yards.

This includes green cuttings, leaves, grass, trimmings from trees and shrubs up to a diameter of 10cm. Roots, wood trunks and soil are not included. Since garden and green wastes are composted directly, any form of inorganic foreign substance is harmful to the recycling product and may not be included.

This includes plaster and materials containing plaster from productions, new constructions or renovation such as plasterboard, rigips or prefab­ricated walls made from gypsum. Foreign materials such as buckets, wallpaper, paper or plastic pieces can not be included or adhering to the material.

The term hazardous waste comes from §48 of the "Kreislaufwirtschafts­gesetz (KrWG)" and describes the wastes that are commonly known as "special waste". Since the disposal or recycling of these wastes present an exceptional danger to the environment, all waste codes defined as dangerous are marked with a * in the "Abfallverze­ich­nisverordnung (AVV)". Special regulations apply for these kinds of wastes regarding the carrying of accompanying documents. A majority of hazardous wastes can not be accepted at our recycling yards. We are allowed to pick up most of the hazardous wastes and take them to an approved disposal facility though. Since every type of waste has very special requirements, please contact us about details.

When disposing insulation materials, the exact composition needs to be considered. Natural insulations such as wood or straw can be recycled. Artificial insulations such as polystyrene or mineral fiber are partly categorized as hazardous waste, depending on their composition and effect on the human body. Please note the information given in the according waste category.

The term artificial mineral fiber (KMF) is used for glass wool and rock wool. These may not be pressed or drenched. KMF needs to be packed in tear-resistant bags or Big-Bags. Filled bags need to be sealed dust-tight and can not be damaged or show wrong warning signs (f.e. for asbestos, so different materials than included). Please note, that the bags need to be at least 80 my thick, which is why trash bags from the supermarket may not be used. You can buy proper PE-Bags from us. We accept properly packaged KMF at our recycling centers. Since KMF counts as a hazardous waste, the verifi­cation takes place by our collective waste disposal order including a dock receipt. Please consider the regulations by TRGS 521 for any form of handling with artificial mineral fibers.

Mixed wastes from construction or demolition. This includes uncont­a­m­inated rubble, iron, windows, tiles, foils, plaster, cardboard, plastic, non-ferrous metals, wallpapers and carpets. Those mixtures are sorted in sorting facilities and recyclable materials are gained. Please consider the regulations by the "Gewerbe­ab­fal­lverordnung".

Mixed wastes that come from industry consist of recyclable components. There may be metal, wood, rubble, paper/ cardboard, foils, glass or plastics included. There may not be wet or organic waste or similar wastes included. Please note, to separate these materials as regulated by the der "Gewerbe­ab­fal­lverordnung".

The recycling of non-ferrous metals/ NE-metals of any kind has been our business for over 70 years. If you have aluminum, copper, brass, red brass, titanium, zinc, tin or other metals, we are the right partner for you. We are happy about any amount, a kilogram or also tons of metal and always pay you the current market price. You are welcome to deliver your metals to our recycling yards directly or we are also happy to pick them up for you.

Packaging is made from many different materials. As waste, they can count to scrap wood, foils, cardboard or iron scrap. In case hazardous materials are attached to the packaging, it could be counted as a hazardous waste. You can find further information in the according category in the overview.

Scrap paper and cardboard are valuable materials, since they reduce the use of fresh wood in the production of paper and help our environment that way. About 67% of the paper produced in Germany is made from scrap paper, especially from less valuable kinds like wrapping material, cardboard, hygiene paper or newspaper. A high amount of scrap paper is especially found in printing companies or as wrapping material and is separated by quality and further use/purpose/ recycling. We accept scrap paper and cardboard at our recycling yards. We are also happy to help you with a suitable container for bigger amounts.

Hard foam-boards from polystyrol (PS)  that are known as polystyrene (expands polystyrol (EPS)) or styrodur (extruded polystyrol (XPS)) were treated with the flame retardant Hexabrom­cy­clododecan (HBCD) until recently. Since HBcD is counted as an alarming chemical, these substances need to be collected separately and need to be disposed in authorized incineration plants.

Roofing felt containing tar without insulating materials such as polystyrene, styrodure or mineral undercoats. To ensure a proper disposal, an analysis needs to be done. We are happy to assist you with the process and help you with a suitable container for temporary storage. We are not allowed to accept these wastes at our recycling yards.

This includes rootstocks, without soil and tree cuttings with a diameter bigger than 10cm. Roots and logs may not have bigger attachments of foreign materials and should be separated from garden and green wastes.

If you have mixed scrap, schmelzeisen, girders, rails, scrap sheets or cast from productions, demolitions or dismantling – we are the right partner for you. We are as happy about small amounts like a kilogram as we are about several tons and will always offer you a fair price. You can either deliver your material to our recycling yards directly or we can pick them up where you need it with a suitable container.

Scrap paper is a valuable resource since it reduces the use of fresh wood in the production of paper - this way we can help conserve our environment. About 67% of the paper produced in Germany is made from recycled paper, especially less valuable kinds such as wrapping material, cardboard, hygiene paper or newspaper. Printing companies often have big amounts of scrap paper and it often occurs as wrapping material. Depending on the quality and the purpose of reuse, it is categorized. You are welcome to deliver scrap paper and cardboard to our recycling centers and in case you have bigger amounts, we are happy to help you with a suitiable container or a compressing container.

We accept scrap tires in every form at our recycling centers. No matter if they are with or without rims or if you only have one or all four of them. In case you have bigger amounts we are happy to help you with a suitable container.

The waste regulations Altholzverordnung (AltholzV) regarding the recycling of scrap wood state, that the material needs to be split  into categories, defined as A I to A IV, depending on the further use.

Category A I: natural or only mechan­ically processed wood, that was not contam­inated more than "insignif­i­cantly" by foreign substances.

Category A II: glued, painted, coated, varnished or differently processed wood without organohalogen compounds in their coat and without wood preser­v­atives

Category A III: wood with organohalogen compounds in their coat without wood preser­v­atives

Scrap woods in category A I to A III are defined as non-hazardous waste, while scrap wood belonging to category A IV, is defined as hazardous waste.

The waste regulations Altholzverordnung (AltholzV) regarding the recycling of scrap wood state, that the material needs to be splitted into categories, defined as A I to A IV and PCB-scrap wood, depending on the further use.

Category A IV: wood treated with wood preser­v­atives such as railway sleepers, poles, hop poles, vineyard poles as well as other scrap wood that does not fit category A I - A III due to their load of pollution, except PCB-scrap wood.

PCB-scrap wood: wood, that is defined as PBC in the sense of the PCB/PCT waste regulations and needs to be disposed by their regulations, especially isolation- and noise protection boards that were treated with substances including polychlo­rinated biphenyls.

Scrap wood of the category A IV is categorized as hazardous waste. It can still be delivered to our recycling centers and the certifi­cation of disposal takes place by the regulations of the Nachweisverordnung (NachweisV).
