Efficient Waste Management: Ibbenbüren demonstrates success

In the city of Ibbenbüren, located in the district of Steinfurt, North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), a recent development in waste management is making waves. The introduction of a modern identification system aims to increase fee fairness and efficiency, ensuring that only bins for which fees have been paid are emptied.

Dr. Marc Schrameyer, the mayor of Ibbenbüren, highlighted this initiative in a recent press release. The green waste disposal offer is included in the waste fees for all citizens, making it accessible and convenient for residents to dispose of their green waste "for free" at two locations in the city.

Ibbenbüren households pay approximately 60 euros less per year for waste disposal than the district average, according to the German Taxpayers' Association. This significant saving equates to around 5 euros per month, providing a noticeable boost to the purchasing power of Ibbenbüren households. In fact, the gain in purchasing power for Ibbenbüren households for the calendar year is over 1 million euros.

The city ranks 4th in the district of Steinfurt and is among the top 7% in all of NRW in terms of waste fees. This achievement is a source of pride for the city's leadership, including Mayor Dr. Marc Schrameyer, who attributes the low waste disposal fees to modern technology and a modern vehicle fleet.

The lower waste disposal fees in Ibbenbüren contribute to the city's overall economy, as more purchasing power stays within the households and the city. Wettringen, with the lowest waste disposal fee in NRW at 162 euros annually for a model household, and Münster, with the highest at 685.50 euros, serve as points of comparison.

Despite the introduction of free green waste disposal and resulting fee increases, Ibbenbüren continues to rank well in NRW for waste fees. This is a testament to the city's commitment to maintaining the low waste disposal fees for Ibbenbüren households in the future. The city leadership aims to continue providing affordable and efficient waste management services to its citizens.

In conclusion, Ibbenbüren's innovative approach to waste management, combined with modern technology and a modern vehicle fleet, has resulted in lower waste disposal fees for its households. This not only benefits the city's residents but also contributes to the city's overall economy by keeping more purchasing power within the households and the city.
