  • Service description

    The disposal of garden waste from private households is the responsibility of the districts and independent cities. Regulations on this are laid down in the individual waste disposal statutes and fee statutes.
    These include information on waste fees, waste containers (organic waste bins, ordering options), waste calendars (collection intervals), existing collection and delivery systems for garden waste.
    If the public waste disposal authorities do not yet offer an organic waste bin, there are alternative disposal options in the bring system (such as the option of dropping off garden waste at recycling centres or container services) and in some cases the use of an organic waste bin from private providers (commercial or non-profit collection).
    In addition to the disposal of garden waste in the organic waste bin, most bylaws mention home composting as an option for recycling garden waste. If it can be proven that they can recycle their own waste by composting it on their own property, citizens can be exempted from the obligation to connect to the organic waste bin.
    The separate collection and subsequent recycling of garden waste has several advantages for the environment: it reduces the amount of residual waste and simplifies the treatment of residual waste. Separate collection simplifies the high-quality recycling of garden waste and enables the utilisation of the humus components and nutrients it contains.

Who should I contact?

You can find out whether garden waste may exceptionally not be disposed of in the organic waste bin or where the nearest collection point for such waste is located on the website of the respective public waste disposal organisation (municipality, city, district or waste association). The waste consultants of the public waste management organisation can also provide information by telephone.

For properties in outdoor areas, there may be no obligation to dispose of garden waste. In this case, the garden waste must be recycled by you. The waste consultant will also provide you with information as to whether there is an obligation to dispose of your garden waste or what recycling options are available for your garden waste.

Under certain conditions, garden waste may also be burned as an exception. Information on whether, when and how incineration is permitted in your town or city and what must be observed when incinerating garden waste can be obtained from the administration of your town or municipality.

Separate regulations apply to the disposal of plant waste that is infested with plant diseases or vermin.
