Postponed trash: Delay in handling waste materials

The waste disposal company, PreZero, based in Knittlingen, is currently experiencing delays in emptying waste containers in the Zollernalbkreis region. These delays are due to a combination of staff shortages and technical issues with their vehicles, according to recent reports.

The shortages among the workers are primarily due to illness, causing disruptions in the usual waste collection schedule. As a result, in most cases, collection will be made up on the following day. However, it's important to note that the restoration of service does not guarantee that all bins will be emptied on their original collection day or that the regular waste collection schedule will not be affected.

PreZero is responsible for resolving the technical issues with their vehicles to ensure normal service resumes as soon as possible. The authorities and the local council are addressing the issue, though specific additional measures by PreZero are not detailed in the sources.

Residents are asked to keep their bins at the collection point if they are not emptied and to understand and cooperate during this time. The local council urges patience as PreZero works to restore normal service to the district and its residents.

It's essential to clarify that these delays are not caused by the local council or residents. The restoration of service does not absolve PreZero of responsibility for resolving technical issues with their vehicles or imply that illness among the workers has been resolved.

Furthermore, the restoration of service does not mean that there are no staff shortages at the waste disposal company, that the delays are completely resolved, or that the local council is now responsible for waste collection. The delays may affect the regular waste collection schedule, and the restoration of normal service is aimed to be as soon as possible.

The delays are affecting both the residual and organic waste bins, and it's important to note that the restoration of service does not guarantee an immediate resolution of the delays or that the regular waste collection schedule will not be affected.

In conclusion, PreZero is facing delays in waste collection in the Zollernalbkreis region due to staff shortages and technical issues with their vehicles. The company is working to restore normal service to the district and its residents, and residents are asked to keep their bins at the collection point and understand the situation during this time. The local council is addressing the issue and asking for patience and cooperation from the residents.
