Disposal center Pohlsche Heide

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The disposal center Pohlsche Heide is a disposal center of the East Westphalian district of Minden-Lübbecke with landfill , composting plant , mechanical-biological waste treatment plant , thermal recycling and two recycling centers in the municipality of Hille and is operated by the KreisAbfallVerwertungsGesellschaft mbH Minden-Lübbecke (KAVG mbH). This has been commissioned by the district of Minden-Lübbecke with the provision of disposal services within the framework of the public disposal obligation.

location

The waste management center is located in the Minden-Lübbecke in Ostwestfalen, close to the Lower Saxony spots Diepenau ( Nienburg / Weser ) and northwest the district center Minden in the forest area Mindenerwald . The site is located on the northeast border of the village of Hille in the municipality of the same name towards the Friedewalde district of the city of Petershagen .

history

The landfill on the Pohlschen Heide was required by the waste law of the Federal Republic of Germany and thus regulated the orderly storage of the garbage in a dump . The high-waste landfill has modern leachate purification and landfill degassing , which are recycled in two combined heat and power plants . It was built from 1984 to 1988 in a first phase and opened in 1988. In 1994 the site was expanded to include a second construction phase. The area of ​​the disposal center covers 136 hectares, the two landfill areas currently in operation are 27 hectares. 50 hectares are available for planned expansions. From 1988 to 2005, household waste , construction waste and commercial waste could be brought there without prior mechanical-biological waste treatment.

The composting plant was opened in 1995 and composts 40,000 tons of organic waste and 10,000 tons of garden and park waste per year. The rotting time is usually eight to twelve weeks.

The mechanical-biological waste treatment was opened in 2005. Until then, the waste was sent directly to the landfill without being used for biological or chemical recycling. With the commissioning, the volume of waste on the landfill has been reduced noticeably. The mechanical biological filling plant is divided into a mechanical and a biological part and up to 115,000 tons of waste can be treated annually. In the mechanical part, the waste is crushed to a maximum grain size of 150 millimeters and then sieved into three grain fractions. The smallest fraction contains a lot of organic content and is processed biologically. The middle fraction is fed to the Minden thermal power station as a thermally usable substitute fuel . The coarse grain class is fed to the commercial waste line.

Use beyond the district area

The landfill is designed for a larger capacity than is still needed today. Therefore, there are negotiations with the neighboring district of Diepholz in Lower Saxony to store rubbish from there. There the expansion of the Bassum landfill will be dispensed with and around 25,000 to 30,000 tons of waste will be delivered to Pohlschen Heide from 2012. There are also discussions in the same direction with the Nienburg district .

operating cost

The operating costs have to be recalculated with the amount of waste that has been reduced for a few years and will result in the waste becoming more expensive for the citizens of the district. Since 2007, the amount of household waste has been falling slowly and the amount of commercial waste has been falling sharply, the latter not least due to the Recycling Act . In 2007, 37,900 tonnes by weight came from the household waste bins, and 35,994 in 2011. In 2007, it was 17,488 tonnes for commercial waste, in 2011 only 10,000 tonnes were achieved.

Political discussion

There were long discussions with the opponents of the landfill about the basic sealing of the landfill. At the beginning of the 21st century it was discussed that the Minden-Lübbecke district should be connected to the Bielefeld waste incineration plant, which could successfully defend itself with the mechanical-biological pretreatment.
