Free collection from October 20th to November 24th – registration required
The municipal services department of the city of Darmstadt (EAD) is once again offering its free green waste collection service for private households from Monday, October 20th, to Monday, November 24th. Those interested can schedule an appointment by phone at 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.
- Must be ready for collection by 6 a.m. at the latest on the day of collection.
- Plastic bags, wire or plastic string are not allowed, as they cannot be removed at the composting plant.
- 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 offices of Wixhausen, Arheilgen and Eberstadt, as well as at the citizens' advice center at Luisenplatz.
More information
Collection is only possible as part of the scheduled garden waste collection. Green waste in paper bags will not be collected during the regular organic waste bin emptying.
Wood pieces and rootstocks with a diameter exceeding ten centimeters can damage the collection vehicles and are therefore collected separately. This large wood, as well as 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.).
