Biowaste container disposal 2024
Organic waste disposal varies seasonally throughout the year.
Biowaste containers are collected weekly throughout the city between week 10 and week 48. In the remaining period, collection only takes place every 14 days in the even calendar weeks.
Alternatives
If, in individual cases, the existing container volume is not sufficient due to a high volume of Biowaste containers, additional containers can be purchased. There is also the option of self-delivery at the recycling center.
Pollutant mobile dates
