A lot is happening in Potsdam-Drewitz: On Tuesday, July 22, 2025, the city's first autonomous recycling center opened its doors.

This means that working people and others who have a hard time getting rid of their trash during the day can also conveniently stop by after work or on the weekend. If you're tired of the long queues in front of traditional recycling centers, this is the right place for you!
