Waste seperation

In Germany, waste is separately collected and disposed of accordingly. To achieve this, different coloured waste containers are used for certain types of waste:

• Paper and Cardboard = Blue or Green container
• Organic waste = Brown container
• Packaging made from plastic or metal = Yellow container
• All other waste = Grey or Black container

In addition separate containers are used for glass, 2nd. hand clothes, as well as hazardous waste such as paint, toxics etc.
