Ah, here's the town I was looking for! Behold, luxury!

Using Google translate (as I am a monoglot):

The settlement administration operated its own garbage collection service, which had to ensure that garbage and waste was not taken to a municipal landfill. This was to prevent the GDR population from finding out to what extent the residents of the settlement were supplied with consumer goods from the West. [ 4 ]
