Recycling centre
The first address for proper disposal
Since 1997, the recycling centre on Schaffeldstraße has enjoyed great popularity. Up to 1000 visitors use it daily for the proper disposal of recyclables and problem waste. Our expert staff will support you in all disposal matters. Below you will find a lot of interesting information about visiting the recycling centre.
What do I have to pay attention to during delivery?
If you would like to dispose of waste directly at the Bocholt recycling centre, you need to take a few things into account:
- The recycling centre accepts waste from private households that accumulates there in small quantities .
- Only those who pay waste disposal fees in Bocholt are entitled to use it. Please take your identity card with you when you visit the recycling centre.
- Pre-sort the waste according to materials when loading the vehicle. We reserve the right to turn away large quantities of unsorted waste.
- Bring helpers with you for unloading! Of course we are happy to help you, but during busy periods our employees do not always have time to help you unload.
- For a smooth process and for your own safety, please follow the instructions of the staff on site.
Tip: Use the less busy days of Wednesday and Thursday for your visit!
