It’s not a work of art, as GWG director Nikolaus Stadler admits, but it is “best and most beautiful solution”. Of a “Pioneer and showcase project” speaks the city councilor responsible for waste management, Dietmar Prammer (SP). We are talking about the new underground system that has recently been in operation in the new Wimhölzel-Hinterland buildings in the Franckviertel and is supposed to be the future of waste separation. The special thing is that the garbage containers are underground and that has a few advantages: At five cubic meters (three for organic waste), the containers are five times larger than usual and therefore have to be emptied less often. Any unpleasant odors remain underground and because there is no waste space and the associated cleaning effort, the residents’ operating costs also fall slightly.

Waste separation becomes more convenient
It will be more convenient for both those who produce waste and those who dispose of it. Instead of chest height, the insert columns are at hip height and can be opened using a pedal. The Linz AG employees, on the other hand, do not have to remove the containers from the garbage rooms, but rather operate a crane using a remote control that lifts them out of the ground. The containers are only intended for the residents of the GWG facility and are therefore equipped with a locking system.

15 more projects in planning
The containers are emptied by a specially purchased vehicle, which is also suitable for the models currently in use. The facility in the Wimhölzel hinterland is the first in Linz, and further projects in the residential sector will follow, says Erich Ehrentraut, head of the Linz AG Waste division. 15 projects are currently being planned in Linz. However, this is primarily about new buildings. Installing the underground system in existing residential complexes will remain an exception due to the space required.
