Landgraben small waste collection point unstaffed this week

The announced high temperatures this week mean that there will be no staff at the Landgraben small waste site in Frankfurt. FES Frankfurter Entsorgungs- und Service GmbH opens the self-service from Tuesday, 12.08.2025, to Saturday, 23.08.2025, from 08:00 to 20:00, so that citizens can continue to drop off their garden waste, bulky waste, paper, used clothing, bottles, light packaging, and metals. Only a mobile phone is required to use the service.

Frankfurt residents book a 10-minute time slot via the Maex self-service app, developed by FES co-shareholder Remondis, open the gate via Bluetooth at the agreed time, drop off their recyclables, and leave the site.

The measure is intended to protect staff. FES CEO Remmert says:

“When it’s this hot, work at the Landgraben small waste site is particularly exhausting. With self-service, we can protect our employees while still allowing citizens to deposit recyclables.”

At the Enkheim small waste site on Barbarossastraße, no self-service portal is available. The site remains closed from Tuesday to Saturday due to the announced heat. FES recycling centers are open as usual.
