Rebuilt recycling centre on Truderinger Straße set to improve waste disposal in eastern Munich

A newly rebuilt recycling centre at Truderinger Straße 2a was scheduled to be officially opened on 8 September at 4pm, following extensive construction work. The site replaces the earlier facility and is the third of the city's enhanced "plus" recycling centres.

The opening was to be carried out by Mayor Mona Fuchs, together with Edwin Grodeke, head of the Municipal Department and first works manager of Munich's waste management company (AWM), and Iris Lemke, senior building director at the city's Building Department.

Among the changes, the new centre has been designed to be largely barrier-free and can take in more deliveries than before. Heavy goods traffic is now kept separate from visitors' vehicles, which means the lorries that move the containers can manoeuvre without disrupting the centre's day-to-day operation.

According to the city, the modern facility will in particular improve the waste disposal options available to residents in the east of Munich.
