We have the correct disposal at heart.

The cycle of resources will only function by correctly separating and processing the waste. For many years, USB has been handling Bochum’s waste disposal and has been your competent partner when it comes to waste separation. We have a suitable solution for every question.

Waste separation means value preservationRaw materials are precious - this makes recycling more important than ever. A large part of the household waste consists of plastics, metal, glass, paper and biode-gradables. All of this can form the basis for new things and, thus, save natural resources. USB Bochum GmbH provides a range of services for an optimum waste sepa-ration. Of course, we also depend on your co-operation. What you can do for a functional cycle of resources, you will fi nd in this brochure.

Always At Work: Our Part and Full Service

The various bins are assigned to one of two service categories: Residual waste and bio bins receive the full service, recyclables and paper bins receive part service.

Full service means:Each residual waste or bio bin is collected from its pitch and taken back to it by the refuse collectors. The posi-tion of the bin may be up to 10 m from the road. In case of a transport distance of more than 10 m, we charge a cartage fee.

Part service means: In case of part service you have the bin ready on the pavement along the road-side of the plot until 6.00 a. m. at the latest. After emptying you take it back to its pitch by yourself.

As a property owner you may apply with USB in writing for a change from part to full service. For the additional annual cost, please refer to the table.

Full Service Paper Bin (every four weeks)*:

*as per May 2014

Please note: Pitches must be concreted or paved and are to be kept free of snow and ice. Transport distances without steps and gradients require a minimum width of 1.20 m.

Capable of Just Everything: Our Residual Waste Bin

The residual waste bin is for household waste which cannot be used any further. It is combusted in waste incinerators and mainly transformed into electricity and heat.

This belongs in the residual waste bin: ash handicraft refuse picture frames female hygiene products fl at, special

or mirror glass photographs crockery shards light bulbs (no ener-gy-saving lamps)

rubber or leather refuse household paper house or street sweepings

hygiene products ceramics candles china cleaning cloths table napkins food leftovers

syringes (dispose in punc-ture-proof containers)

heavily soiled papers, cartons, cardboard

heavily soiled recyclable material (e. g. mugs with residual content)

vacuum cleaner bags stockings animal litter, animal faeces sound and video tapes dressing material bird cage litter diapers cigarette butts

If there is no bio bin, then also: kitchen waste and biodegradables (potato wedges, plants)

Our tip for the residual waste bin:

Is your residual waste bin often not completely full or constantly jam-packed? As a property owner or administrator you can apply with USB in writing for a change of the container volume.

For Special Cases: The Household Collection Box

Where to put the empty batteries or energy-saving lamps? These cannot be discarded with the residual waste, but have to be disposed of separately. The household collection box makes the collection of var-ious recyclables easier for you and takes them back into the materials cycle quickly and reliably.

The nicely shaped and practical cardboard box swallows CDs, DVDs, batteries, button cells, energy-saving lamps, LEDs, and corks. When the box is full, you can swap it against a new box at every recycling point in Bochum.

Each collection box has three openings of different sizes for three different materials. You choose one material per opening (for example corks) and tick the respective fi eld on the box.

You can get the household collection box in pleasant de-signs at all recycling points in Bochum, at Verbraucherzen-trale [consumers’ organisation] Bochum, Große Beck-straße 15, and at USB, Hanielstraße.

The multi-collector: An additional service is available to you at the technical city hall. This big collection container currently enables you to quickly and simply discard the following household materials: CDs and DVDs printer cartridges corks charging cables with or without power supply unit

You will fi nd us at www.usb-bochum.de 17

Collection Value: Corks

The demand for the natural product cork is rising and cannot be met by the natural growth any longer. To date, only a tenth of the bottle cork is fed into the resources cycle. Please help to increase the amount!

Please only collect natural cork from wine, sparkling wine and spirits bottles. The best is to use our household collection box for that matter. Air-permeable bags made from jute or synthetics are suitable for larger quantities. Hand in the collected corks at the recycling points, at the consumers’ association or at USB in Hanielstraße. Please take larger quantities straight to Hanielstraße 1.

Not for the Bin: CDs and DVDs

CDs and DVDs can be processed into high-value products - if they are fed back into the resources cycle. The household collection box is suitable for their collection.

Where are they collected?You can hand in individual CDs and DVDs at our recy-cling points, the district administrative offi ces as well as Verbraucherzentrale Bochum.

Collection Value: Corks

The demand for the natural product cork is rising and cannot be met by the natural growth any longer. To date, only a tenth of the bottle cork is fed into the resources cycle. Please help to increase the amount!

Please only collect natural cork from wine, sparkling wine and spirits bottles. The best is to use our household collection box for that matter. Air-permeable bags made from jute or synthetics are suitable for larger quantities. Hand in the collected corks at the recycling points, at the consumers’ association or at USB in Hanielstraße. Please take larger quantities straight to Hanielstraße 1.

Not for the Bin: CDs and DVDs

CDs and DVDs can be processed into high-value products - if they are fed back into the resources cycle. The household collection box is suitable for their collection.

We have the correct disposal at heart.

The cycle of resources will only function by correctly separating and processing the waste. For many years, USB has been handling Bochum’s waste disposal and has been your competent partner when it comes to waste separation. We have a suitable solution for every question.

Waste separation means value preservationRaw materials are precious - this makes recycling more important than ever. A large part of the household waste consists of plastics, metal, glass, paper and biode-gradables. All of this can form the basis for new things and, thus, save natural resources. USB Bochum GmbH provides a range of services for an optimum waste sepa-ration. Of course, we also depend on your co-operation. What you can do for a functional cycle of resources, you will fi nd in this brochure.
