Refuse information
Kaiserslautern City will distribute an informational flyer and a schedule for regular refuse collection to all households Monday to Thursday. The flyer has useful information on bulk refuse, special treatment refuse, collection points and relevant services. Most services are free of charge, meaning they have already been paid for with the utility bill. Remember, off-base residents are not authorized to bring their refuse on base. For details, call 0631-365-3850 or visit the German American Community Office website at http://www3.kaiserslautern.de/gaco//.
City employees read meters
Employees of Stadtwerke Kaiserslautern and Stadtwerke Ramstein-Miesenbach, the city works in charge of electricity, gas and water, are currently visiting customers to read their meters.
Every meter reader has a company badge customers can ask to see. If meter readers won’t be able to reach customers at home, they will leave a message. Customers are asked to read the meters themselves and give the numbers, as soon as possible, back to Stadtwerke. Customers of Stadtwerke Ramstein-Miesenbach can email their meter readings to SK@Stadtwerke-Ramstein.de or visit www.stadtwerke-ramstein.de. Customers of Stadtwerke Kaiserslautern should email their meter readings to ablesung@swk-kl.de, visit www.swk24.de or call 0631-8001-1999. If customers don’t notify their city works, their consumption will be estimated.
Officials ask customers to remove all objects in front of the meters to make the reading as easy as possible.
