Restabfall entsorgen

Residual waste is disposed of in the residual waste bin. Every plot of land on which waste can accumulate must be connected to the municipal waste disposal system.

The residual waste bins (60 - 240 litres) are removed every 14 days. The dates can be found in the Bremen waste calendar. The number of regularities included in the waste fee can be found in the fee table. Please place the bin on the street at the earliest from 18:00 hrs on the day before collection, but no later than 06:00 hrs on the day of collection.

Every property in Bremen must be equipped with a sufficiently large residual waste bin. A retention volume of 15 litres per person per week is prescribed. A common use of waste containers, also across properties, is possible.

• Applications must be made in writing or by telephone by the property owner, and tenants should contact their landlord.
• For private households, the size of the residual waste bin depends on the number of persons in the household.
• For commercial enterprises and associations, the size is to be determined individually depending on the industry and number of employees. This is done by the commercial customer service of Die Bremer Stadtreinigung.

Residual waste:

• Wallpaper, pet litter, small pieces of wood, light bulbs, household items, household dishes, sanding and sawing dust, soiled paper and cardboard, soiled plastic film, buckets, emulsion paints, medications, diapers, vacuum cleaner bags, ashes, file folders, audio and videocassettes.
