Autumn begins: leaf garbage cans for rent

After the extremely dry summer, leaf shedding now begins. In the fall, the available volume of organic waste bins is quickly no longer sufficient to get rid of the leaves, especially in the case of large trees. The Entsorgungs- und Servicebetrieb Bocholt (ESB) therefore offers leaf garbage cans again from the end of September.

Borrowing conditions

The garbage cans can be collected from the ESB recycling center (Schaffeldstr. 74) during opening hours from Tuesday, September 20. For the three-month seasonal period, there is a usage fee of 24 euros per leaf garbage can. As an alternative to collection from the recycling center, the ESB will deliver the leaf garbage cans for a transport fee of 10 euros. Call or e-mail with the name and address is sufficient.

Keeping leaves in the bins saves energy

After the season, the garbage cans may remain with the borrower. This eliminates the need to transport the garbage cans. Anyone who has decided to take care of the garbage can until the next leaf season will receive a season sticker from the ESB in late summer. This season sticker will then be used to empty the garbage cans until the end of December 2022. The garbage cans can, of course, also be returned. The ESB will provide this service for a fee of 10 euros.

Emptying

The leaf garbage cans are added to the biodegradable waste collection every two weeks and emptied by the end of December. From January onwards, the garbage cans will no longer be emptied.

The use of the leaf garbage cans is limited to the urban area of Bocholt. This regulation does not apply to the outside areas where no bio garbage cans have been placed.

General information

In the garden, leaves should be left under the trees, shrubs and hedges if possible. This layer of leaves provides an important protective cover for small soil organisms. In addition, the rotting leaves are a natural fertilizer for the soil and at the same time protect it from drying out.
