The German city of Kaiserslautern has put its faith in Swiss design: 135 Littersharks are now on hand to swallow up any litter that comes their way.

At last, the Littershark has arrived in Kaiserslautern! For years, waste management in the German city lacked a cohesive concept. A mishmash of different bins, outdated systems and inefficient emptying routines were a constant source of frustration for everyone.

The municipal workers were particularly disheartened, as they were called upon day after day to tackle the huge piles of waste.

It was time for a fresh start. Impressed by the Littershark’s quality, design and capacity, the local council decided to order 135 of our bestselling model at once.

Project Kaiserslautern

Whether in the old town, at the newly redesigned bus station or in the redeveloped city centre, stylish Littersharks now stand on every corner, efficiently swallowing up litter throughout the day. Some are even equipped with an integrated ashtray or the Shark Dog module.

In places where more people gather and waste volumes are correspondingly higher, our Solar Press-Sharks are also in operation. Our smart and stylish litter bins are a big hit all round – with the street-cleaning teams, who benefit from fewer and more efficient emptying runs, and with people visiting Kaiserslautern, who love their sleek exterior and ease of use.

In Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, the Littershark is helping to keep numerous cities, towns, and municipalities clean. You can find all our major projects here.
