Recycling centre

The recycling centre offers the citizens of Rodgau the opportunity to dispose of recyclable materials free of charge. It is operated in order to recover recyclable materials from the waste volumes by type and return them to the recyclable material cycles. In some cases, this generates revenue (e.g. from scrap metal), which is used for the fee budget and thus ensures lower fees.
