Photos wanted for the 2025 environmental calendar

The Department of Environment and Greenery is planning to publish the 2025 environmental calendar, in which interested parties and photography enthusiasts can once again contribute their favourite photos of and from Beckum, Neubeckum, Roland and Vellern.

The images can be sent in jpg format to mail@kommunikativ.info and should have as high a resolution as possible. The closing date for entries is 30.08.2024.

For further information, please contact Marita Denkert: 02521 29-6722.


Waste disposal - a clean affair

The collection of residual waste, organic waste and paper containers is divided into 5 collection districts. You can find your district in the environmental calendar in the street directory.

Residual waste (containers with grey lids, 80 litres, 120 litres or 240 litres) is collected fortnightly in the odd calendar weeks. Organic waste is collected in the containers with brown lids (120 litres or 240 litres). They are emptied fortnightly in the even calendar weeks.

Paper is collected in 240-litre containers with blue lids. Collection takes place four times a week with every second organic waste collection.
