There should be one container space per 1,000 inhabitants in the Erding district.
But there are too few parking spaces, especially in the district town.
Erding
- The problem runs throughout Erdinger Land: There are too few container places where you can dispose of glass, paper and old clothes.
One location per 1000 inhabitants – that’s actually how many there should be.
The municipalities do not fully meet this requirement.
The district office is therefore looking for additional locations.
“The designation of new locations in recent years has been well below the average population growth,” explains Claudia Fiebrandt-Kirmeyer, spokeswoman for the district office, when asked by our newspaper.
On average, one place should be reserved for every 1,000 inhabitants.
The current population is around 1,100 - “and the trend is rising, which is why there is a fundamental need to designate more places,” said the spokeswoman.
That's why the municipalities were asked last year to create additional container spaces for glass, paper and old clothing, if possible as part of the land-use planning or on municipal land in coordination with the district office.
“We are in coordination with several communities on this,” reports Fiebrandt-Kirmeyer.
One of these is Forstern, where, in addition to the recycling center, there is only one public container site in the Preisdorf district during opening hours.
With around 3,800 inhabitants, this is a good deal below target: “There is a need for action here,” says Fiebrandt-Kirmeyer.
In purely mathematical terms, it also exists in several other municipalities, especially in the city of Erding.
With almost 38,800 inhabitants, there should be 39 places rounded up according to the 1,000-inhabitant key.
In fact there are only 22 plus three recycling centers.
The reason: “This number is to be understood as an average across the district, where some municipalities can report more, some less,” explains Fiebrandt-Kirmeyer.
The fact that the rate in the large district town of Erding is lower than in the surrounding area is due to the property prices and the space situation.
It is therefore unlikely that the quota will be completely fulfilled there, “but possible locations are being examined together with the town hall,” the spokeswoman said.
According to the district office's homepage, there are a total of 31 recycling centers and 101 container locations in the district.
The quota also has to do with garbage fees, as Fiebrandt-Kirmeyer explains further.
Recyclables that are left to the dual systems would also be disposed of via the container spaces - such as packaging glass such as bottles or a portion of the cardboard from the paper collection.
In return, the Erding district receives a shared use fee per resident in the DSD (Dual System Germany) area.
“The density of stand space per location is also crucial for this,” says Fiebrandt-Kirmeyer.
If the stand density falls below a certain value, the financing through the dual systems would also decrease - and this gap would in turn have to be covered by the garbage fees.

According to Andreas Neumaier, the fact that the cans have no longer been disposed of in containers but in the yellow bag since the beginning of the year has no significant impact on the income from the DSD.
The head of the waste management department at the district office recently reported this to the district council.
