Art, kitsch and junk at the bulky waste exchange

For the coming Saturday, July 23, the waste disposal and service company invites to the bulky waste exchange. From 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., visitors will be able to rummage for exciting finds on the company's premises on Schaffeldstraße. Waste consultant Petra Tacke hopes for many visitors in a buying mood.

To ensure that a wide range of items is collected, the recycling center employees have been on the lookout for things suitable for sale at the bulky waste exchange over the past few weeks. So far, a colorful mixture of children's toys, decorative items, furniture and odds and ends has come together.

Experience has shown that the best items to sell are the small treasures that can be easily transported home. For the waste consultant, the collection container always represents a kind of surprise box. Until Wednesday, July 22, items can also still be handed in for the bulky waste exchange. Small items should be delivered in sturdy boxes.

Help from Bocholt clubs

Volunteers will be assisting the ESB with set-up and sales. Helpers from the Kinderschutzbund have already been supporting the waste advisor in the preparations since 2018. Young people from the THW are active as stewards and help clean up. During the bulky waste exchange, employees of the Repair café provide freshly baked waffles for the physical well-being.

Sale for the Tafel Bocholt

The bulky waste exchange primarily serves the further use of well-preserved items and thus sustainability. The more things can be used further, the better. The proceeds of the bulky waste exchange will be donated to the Tafel Bocholt. Two Tafel employees will be present at the event to answer questions about the Tafel's work.
