Solingen waste-to-energy plant stays open during February carnival festivities

The waste-to-energy plant (MHKW) in Solingen will stay open on Thursday, February 12, despite the Altweiberfastnacht celebrations. Residents can still drop off waste during the facility's normal operating hours that day.

The decision ensures no disruption to private waste deliveries on the holiday. The plant will maintain its usual schedule, allowing households to dispose of rubbish as planned.

Details about roadwork closures near the new depot remain unclear. No official updates have been provided on the resurfacing timeline or how long the access road might be blocked.

The plant's continued operation on February 12 means residents face no delays for waste disposal. However, uncertainty remains about future access changes due to the resurfacing project.
