Leonberg makes the garbage underground: clean cities through new containers!

A fresh wind blows through the streets of Leonberg, because from June 23, 2025, an exciting pilot project will start to install underground dumpsters on Jahnstrasse. The city administration has a lot to do to reduce the urban wild waste and the stain of the city and at the same time beautify the cityscape. The initiative is supported by the Böblingen waste management company (AWB), which promises a significant improvement in the garbage situation from this innovative step. The previous surface containers are often the aim of illegal garbage deposits - a development that needs to be stopped, such as Stuttgartter news report.

The new containers are installed completely underground and are equipped with an above -ground throw -in column. This innovative solution offers clear advantages: the noise level when throwing glass and cans is significantly reduced, and the cityscape is no longer disturbed by the well -integrated throw -in columns. With a filling volume of about three cubic meters and waterproof containers, these containers are not only practical, but also contribute to the visual improvement. The cost of the civil engineering measures amounts to around 80,000 euros, a further 20,000 euros are invested for the containers and their installation.

A look at the test results

Before the containers are used, the city has already gained experience with similar projects in other cities. The Holding Graz tested underground garbage containers and achieved positive feedback. These containers offer numerous advantages: they are space -saving and only need half as much floor surface as conventional trash cans. In addition, they offer a central collection point that is accessible to all citizens. According to My district The experience with the installation of these systems is already positive.

Currently, five vehicles in the Böblingen district have to empty the old containers every day and clean the locations. This procedure could be relieved by the new underground containers. Planning for the equipment of the containers with sensors for level measurement are also on the agenda to further increase the efficiency of the garbage disposal.

a step towards the future

The introduction of smart technologies in the garbage industry is currently very popular. Innovative approaches such as artificial intelligence in garbage sorting or intelligent waste management systems revolutionize the industry. According to Sigma Earth could be decisive to improve the cost-intensive and environmental disposal. The alliance between ongoing projects such as in Leonberg and the impressive developments in the recycling sector could set new standards.
