We transport many tonnes of waste to Denmark – from countries such as Italy and England – for use in combustion plants that produce heat. Meanwhile, a growing number of Danish businesses are using the right type of plastic for combustion instead of those based on fossil fuels.
This waste is very heavy when pressed into large bales by the shipper. Fortunately, we are experts in transporting heavy cargo. These bales are transported from the train wagon to the end recipient by special lorries with a built-in roller floor. At the delivery site, the bales are rolled out the back of the lorry.
For shippers who cannot produce such compact bales, their waste is transported in open-top containers on our wagons. These containers are then transported to the end recipient by lorries that can tip out the waste.
Disposal: Waste – we transport and recycle
DB Cargo transports waste for recycling – it’s environmentally friendly, efficient and innovative.
Benefits of transporting waste by rail:
