Bioabfälle Entsorgung

The disposal of biowaste from private households is the responsibility of the public waste disposal authorities. You can dispose of organic waste at the respective recycling collection points and recycling centers.

If you collect biodegradable waste (organic kitchen waste and garden waste) separately from the residual waste, this has several advantages for the environment: you reduce the amount of residual waste and make it easier to dispose of the residual waste. Separate collection simplifies the high-quality recycling of biowaste through fermentation. In addition, the humus components and nutrients contained in the biowaste can be returned to the natural cycle as fermentation substrate or compost.

Information on the costs can be found in the respective waste fee statutes of your public waste disposal authority.

The management of organic waste is regulated in the individual statutes of the public waste disposal authorities. This also includes information about

• existing collection and delivery systems for biowaste (for example, the drop-off options for garden waste at recycling centers, green waste collection points or container services) and
• waste fees.
