Residual waste
Only waste that cannot be sorted for separate recovery and/or recycling should be placed in the black bin (residual waste bin).
General waste is collected and transported by Kommunalservice Jena to the Zorbau Thermal Waste Treatment Plant, where it is processed; the remaining material is then disposed of in landfills in the form of ash and slag.
What goes in the general waste?
- Plastics without the "Green Dot"

Waste Containers
You can purchase the 60-liter, 120-liter, or 240-liter waste bins (black) from us at Löbstedter Straße 56 or from other suppliers.
Purchase and Registration of Black Bins
The containers must be equipped by KSJ with a transponder chip and an identification number (white sticker), which ensure automatic property-specific data collection and, for residual waste containers, accurate fee billing. The purchase of the bins must be authorized by the property owner or property manager, or through a corresponding power of attorney for delivery.
We rent out 1,100-liter and 660-liter waste containers (green) as well as 5 m³ transfer and transfer-emptying bins and compactor containers to housing associations, private landlords, or commercial businesses. Please contact our Sales Department at vertrieb-ksj@jena.de for more information. The number and size of residual waste containers are determined based on the actual needs identified on the property.
Minimum Storage Capacity
The minimum capacity requirement for residual waste is 15 liters per resident for every developed and managed residential property (regardless of the number of collections). However, at least one 60-liter residual waste container must be provided for each property.
Minimum Emptying Frequency
For each registered residual waste container, at least two collections per calendar half-year are billed in accordance with the mandatory provision requirement.
Residual Waste Collection
Waste containers are emptied according to a set schedule. You can view the dates in the waste disposal calendar.
Unlocked waste containers must be placed at the edge of the public right-of-way (off the roadway) by 6:00 a.m. on the day of collection.
