Type of Company and Mandate of BSR
 BSR is 100% owned by the State of Berlin and as a public legal entity it is organised like
a public limited company (management board, supervisory board) since 1994.
 BSR is commissioned to perform sovereign tasks of the State of Berlin.
 Refuse collection (residual waste, organic waste), waste treatment (incineration
plants, mechanical physical stabilisation plants)
 Street cleaning, snow removal and gritting
 In the sovereign realm, BSR is financed though fees. The generation of profits is
therefore strictly ruled out (concept of cost coverage). Fee payers are directly benefitting
from decreasing costs as their fees are reduced.
 BSR is allowed to also operate commercially (though subsidiaries), which in the broader
sense is also part of their range of tasks. The commercial is geared towards generating
profits and strengthening the equity of the company.
 BSR is a guarantor for safe waste management and for the cleanliness if the city.

about 40,000 waste containers)
 Collection of organic waste (approx. 3.2 million collections
per annum, from approx. 83,000 waste containers)
 15 recycling depots taking on approx. 20 types of recycling
materials and approx. 30 pollutants
 Collection of approx. 10,850 tons of bulky waste
 Other, e.g. 350,000 collected and recycled Christmas trees
Comprehensive Provision of Waste Disposal for all
Berlin Homes - Performance Data of Refuse Collection

Milano Recycling City 6th June 20145
Unterground Waste Container Systems
 Currently 41 Systems (sites) in use, 12 more Systems planned
 Modular architecture ( different and complimentary options) and weekly emptying
Other Opportunities for Separate Waste Collection
 Except ~ 6.000 containers (on ~ 1.700 sites) for the collection of glass and an unknown number of boxes for old
textiles (set up by authorized collectors) there are no recycling banks in the public area.
 Public authorities, hospitals and some companies (e.g. german railroad) offer additional possibilities for the
separate collection of waste (e.g. paper, glass, lightweight-packaging and mixed waste)

BSR provides 15 Recycling Depots in Berlin for the
separate Collection of recyclable Materials

Prospective Utilisation of Biogenous Waste
 Planned fermentation plants are designed for the treatment of organic waste
from household-bins (“Biotonne”)
 Further biogenous waste and solid digestate can in future be treated at the
already existing compost sites around Berlin
