This seems to be a proprietary name for a type of waste collection container, but I can't find any references to it (or "Riedberg container") online or in dictionaries.

Reference: Riedberg is a suburb in which specific waste disposal methods were deployed.

Reference information:
Working in three shifts he and his colleagues heave 15 tonnes of waste an hour into the two 30 metre high ovens, which must hang on until the two new ones take over. The supply must go on constantly and the fires burn non-stop - as fuel for the turbines and steam conduits, from which Mainova gains energy from the refuse to provide electricity and district heating for the 8,000 households in the Nordweststadt and another 10,000 in the new suburb, Riedberg.

Probably not, in that case. Will have another root around, but it's not looking terribly promising.

Note to reference poster
Asker: Thanks, but these Riedbergbehälter are in use in a hazardous waste depot at a factory in Bavaria, so I rather doubt this has anything to do with Frankfurt Riedberg.

disagree  LittleBalu: your reference is about providing electricity and heating to 10,000 households in Riedberg, not about any specific waste disposal method related to or using Riedberg/Rietberg containers
