Recycling saves precious resources

BSR: type of company and mandate

Berlin Stadtreinigung (BSR) is commissioned to perform the responsibilities of the State of

Berlin in matters of

Refuse collection

Waste treatment

Street cleaning, snow removal and gritting

Under the legal form of a public law institution the BSR is at 100% owned by the State of Berlin.
