Mannheim Launches Leaf Collection Service for City Trees
Mannheim residents with large trees on their streets can now dispose of excess leaves at the ABG waste disposal company's composting site on the Friesenheimer Insel for a fee. The city has placed approximately 100 leaf collection baskets on residential streets to aid in this process.
The leaf collection baskets will be emptied once a week and removed once the trees have shed all their leaves. Residents are reminded that only leaves from city trees can be disposed of in these baskets, not leaves from private gardens, branches, or trash. For private garden leaves, residents can use biowaste bins or visit recycling centers for free disposal.
The city plans to expand its leaf collection services in 2025, with more baskets expected to be in use. However, the specific details and project leaders for this expansion are yet to be confirmed. Residents are advised to contact the Mannheim city administration or the Wirtschaftsbetriebe Mannheim GmbH for the latest information.
Mannheim's leaf collection initiative aims to help residents manage excess leaves from city trees. Residents are encouraged to use the provided services responsibly and follow the guidelines for proper disposal. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, residents should contact the city administration or the Wirtschaftsbetriebe Mannheim GmbH.
