• Oil
• Electrical equipment
• Energy-saving and fluorescent lamps

Disposal of electronic waste

The following applies to disposal: Electrical appliances do not belong in household waste! They can usually be handed over to special recycling centers or placed with bulky waste. There are now often trash bins for electronic waste that can be found next to the glass recycling containers.

In addition, many electronics stores take back old appliances for free. However, if the appliances still work, there are many other options, such as reselling them or donating them.

Disposal of bulky waste – what does it include and how is it disposed of correctly?

Bulky waste refers to old household items that are too heavy for normal disposal or cannot be disposed of with household waste. It includes old strollers, furniture, carpets, lamps, mattresses, etc.

It can be disposed of mainly in two ways.

At a recycling center: Many places have recycling centers where you can drop off your bulky waste. This is especially useful if you only want to dispose of individual items.

Have it collected: For larger quantities, such as when you vacate the house, it makes sense to have bulky waste collected. You can have bulky waste collected directly from your home by BSR. With the economy tariff, 5m3 of bulky waste costs just €50.

Where to put the scrap metal?

Scrap metal can be deposited at a recycling center or scrap dealer. Please remember that you will get paid for some metals, but not all recycling centers offer this facility.

These include:

• Ovens
• Oven trays
• Bowls and pots
• Metal furniture
• Bathtubs
