Biowaste container disposal 2025

Organic waste disposal varies seasonally throughout the year.
In the period from week 1 to week 9, collection only takes place every 14 days in the even calendar weeks.
From week 10 to week 52, Biowaste containers are collected weekly throughout the city.

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.

Christmas tree disposal

A special tour collected the trees from January 13 - 17, 2025.
The disposal took place on the dates for Biowaste containers.

Example: If your organic waste container is regularly emptied on a Monday, place the decorated tree next to your organic waste container at 6:00 a.m. on this day with a maximum length of 1.50 m, shorten if necessary!

Disposal then takes place on the respective disposal days of the Biowaste container collection (place next to the container, shorten if necessary).
