Free pickup from October 20 to November 24 – registration required
The Darmstadt City of Science's municipal authority for municipal tasks and services (EAD) will once again offer its free green waste collection for private households from Monday, October 20, to Monday, November 24. Interested parties can schedule an appointment by calling 06151 13-46000 or online via the EAD customer portal .
Instructions for collection
- Please bundle shrubs and branches up to ten centimeters in diameter and two meters in length and place them together with loose green waste in paper bags or cardboard boxes.
- Make available by 6 a.m. on the collection day at the latest.
- Plastic bags, wire, or plastic string are not permitted as they cannot be removed at the composting facility.
- Larger 70-liter paper bags are available for €0.70 each at the EAD recycling center (opening hours: Mon, Tue, Thu 8am–5pm; Wed 1pm–6pm; Fri 8am–4pm; Sat 9am–1pm).
The bags can also be purchased at the district administration offices in Wixhausen, Arheilgen and Eberstadt, as well as at the Citizens' Advice Center at Luisenplatz.
More information
Collection is only carried out as part of the registered garden waste collection. Green waste in paper bags is not collected during regular organic waste bin collections.
Wood fragments and root stumps with a diameter of more than ten centimeters can cause damage to collection vehicles and are therefore collected separately. This large wood, along with other compostable waste from Darmstadt households, can be dropped off at the composting facility (Eckhardwiesenstraße 25) (opening hours: Mon–Fri 8 a.m.–4 p.m., Sat 8 a.m.–12 p.m.).
