Recycling centre Mechernich
Project period
2014
Client
District of Euskirchen – Dept. 66 Civil Engineering and Waste Disposal
Task and implementation
The District of Euskirchen has been operating a small delivery station for recyclables from private households at the waste management centre in Mechernich since 2005. In the course of a comprehensive redesign, we should make it more customer-friendly, clearer and safer.
We designed the new recycling centre as a horseshoe-shaped ramp. Waste can be dropped off there from the upper level into the containers on the lower level. We integrated separate covered halls for the delivery of construction waste or electronic scrap. Thanks to clever design and traffic routing, the new yard is now much more accessible. For example, we neatly separated private and company traffic for more safety and offer stopping possibilities directly in front of the containers.
