rebuild, Expanding and renovating is fun for every Seibermacher. But what comes then? who stones, want to get rid of roof tiles and mortar residue, must be prepared for anything.
The news spread like wildfire: bush path, Corner of Erlen-kamp, there is a dumpster in the front yard. gate open. Then they came at nightfall. With fence post including cement base, rusted wire mesh, eroded panels, whole front doors. And with a few bags of household rubbish. The next morning was the container (capacity: ten cubic meters) full to the brim.
As long as attics and basements are increasingly becoming guest, Kinder- and transform workrooms, the garage is converted into a fitness center or a home sauna, as long as that stays, what happens en masse, a serious problem: rubble.
A mini skirt usually works wonders in the recycling yard
When trying, to solve our garbage problem, let's learn, that it (at least) there are three critical moments. First: the clearing out. Until the garbage truck comes, Depending on the federal state, it can take up to six weeks. By then, energy and enthusiasm have usually already evaporated. So off to the recycling yard. There we are received and suspected by rough-legged fellows. Vigilant to the point of cruelty. "Old curtain rods? Metal. Back there!So we tumble almost three hundred meters across the yard. As we approach the container, intended for household waste, a "Stop! Cardboard to the left.” But then the mishap happened. So let's climb the ladder, let's go down in the garbage, pull the cardboard out again. Old Dielenbretter? "We don't have to take it. They are pre-treated.” Long discussion. The men in overalls are having a bad day. So the boards back in the trunk.
Professionals already have a 20-mark note between their teeth when unloading the trunk – very discreet, understood. Two more are in the glove compartment. At the right moment, they fall into randomly outstretched hands. In our case, the total cost was approx. three runs close 60 Mark for aid money and garbage bags.
Who wants to save, send mrs, daughter or girlfriend. mini skirts, Tight sweaters and gentle smiles save many hours of rage and running. In such a company, the municipal waste disposal companies lend a hand themselves. Free of charge.
Gets really big, let's go to phase two. This means: Provision of a garbage container by a private company and its removal. The container (ten cubic meters) alone costs just under 300 Mark. The disposal around 100 euros per cubic meter of rubble.
Alter Trick: Household waste is disguised as building rubble
Thanks to neighborly "cooperation", two pieces are needed. to the brim. Total including VAT: fast 2600 Euro.
All the old stuff is gone, follows phase 3 of waste disposal: With renovation measures, rubble accumulates again: Waste on wall panels, insulation boards, carpeting, insulating material. So back to the recycling yard? frustration tendency: rising. Waste management laws at state level turn fathers into gangs of people smugglers. A group of friends of bulky waste disposal companies rents a trailer and sets off across the border to a federal state at night, where the custom of bulky waste collection still exists. They drive from scrap heap to scrap heap as busy as brownies, around their dressers, chairs, Getting rid of bedsteads and mattresses in front of other people's front doors.
The “sledgehammer” variant is anything but imaginative, hedge trimmer and saw”, effective in the long run: Disused sinks, remnants of roofing felt (Attention, they are among the environmentally harmful problem substances!) and half-rotted boards are shattered, crushed, laboriously torn and then at night in their own or – always popular - hidden in the neighbor's garbage can under a bag of household rubbish.
Insider tips quickly make the rounds among fellow sufferers: “On Tuesdays, the one with the mustache is on duty at the recycling yard. Ask him about his son's high school diploma, give him a fuck, and you can unload, whatever you can get your hands on. He then plays blind and keeps the others in check.”
Order a container, which is declared for pure building rubble, but then with the (approximately twice as expensive) mixed construction site waste, is considered a great savings tip. Forget it. The companies know this and are poking around, whether beneath the superficial layer of rubble of sand, stones and roof tiles, not wood, Papier, cardboard, plastic or even household waste. Even the glimpse of a single can of Coke arouses her suspicions. "If someone refuses, to pay the full bill, he gets the rubbish dumped in front of the house again”, says the employee of a disposal company. The Dumpster Services, who dispose of the whole thing in an environmentally friendly manner in accordance with the Federal Waste Management Act, are after all the cheaper solution compared to bribes and fines for disregarding environmental protection laws.
Containers are best upgraded to fortresses
“You just have to get sensible advice”, says Ingo Kuschmann from the Hamburg container service Jutta Schirmer GmbH. “I let people explain to me in detail, what they want to dispose of. And then we will find the cheapest solution. Cubic meter is a measure of space, most people forget that. So shred everything, so that the volume can be used completely.” His experiences with desires, awakened by a container in the neighborhood, Kuschmann passes on in the following words: “Request the container for just one day. Or – if that can't be done, back it up overnight, cover with a tarpaulin and close the gate.”
If you still want to dispose of the rubble yourself, it's hard. Most cities and counties have at most one landfill, that accepts rubble at all. Of course, kilometers away from the construction site.
Be careful with savings: Marital quarrels are programmed
Even such landfills are officially only allowed to accept small amounts. Plaster residues and mortar, for example, in a sack of 120 litres. It's hardly worth bagging.
Also with the note landfill for self-disposal, to be found in the Yellow Pages, caution is advised. Because for large-scale unloading, private individuals also need an official transport permit. Sharp-eyed gatekeepers let them show you, because the environmental police sometimes circle inconspicuously in front of the driveway. The lack of such approval then becomes expensive for both sides. Helmuth Wolff, in a society for recycling, Disposal and waste treatment in Hamburg responsible for environmental protection, knows only one way out of the dilemma: "If in doubt, you should call the district office for waste management in advance." There you can get information free of charge. This way saves time, effort and money. “There are precise rules”, explains Wolff, “And it becomes difficult with contaminated materials. These include asbestos cement sheets, roofing felt, Night storage heaters and impregnated hunter fences.”
Our friend Rolf from an idyllic suburb of Munich decided with a look at his wallet, killing two birds with one stone. To fulfill his wife's wish for a larger terrace, he dug a pit around the existing surface, dumped in the rubble from a renovation and compacted it with vigorous trampling. Then the soil excavation came on top, a layer of garden soil on top.
When his wife wanted to plant seedlings in the spring after a long rainy season, she cried out briefly. Her left leg was knee-deep in sharp-edged bathroom tiles. Thanks, the bruised leg is making good progress. Now that's about it, to mend the marriage.
