1. Abfallwirtschafts- und Stadtreinigungsbetrieb

The Abfallwirtschafts- und Stadtreinigungsbetrieb (aws) is responsible for the waste disposal and the cleaning of streets and public places in the City of Augsburg. With a team of 360 employees the department serves 276,000 people. Garbage is separated and collected in yellow, green, brown and gray garbage cans. aws operates the landfill in northern Augsburg. Every year, 46,380 metric tons of waste have to be taken to the landfill since they are not safe for incineration. Several areas of the landfill have reached their capacity and are now closed and landscaped. Waste-gases are extracted and converted into electricity. aws offers guided tours of the facility and presentations about the 4-bin-recycling system.
