What can be disposed of – and what cannot?
Hazardous household waste can be dropped off at the mobile hazardous waste collection point. This includes, among other things:
- Paints and varnishes (excluding wall paints)
- Solvents and cleaning agents
- Plant protection products
- Waste gasoline, acids, alkalis
- Fire extinguishers (in household quantities)
Not accepted:
- Water-based wall and facade paints (emulsion paints) – these are not hazardous waste be disposed of in the regular household waste bin.
- Packaging, boxes or bags
- Car batteries, energy-saving lamps, fluorescent tubes
- Munitions, fireworks and radioactive materials
The amount of waste that can be dropped off is limited a maximum of 100 liters or kilograms per household and collection date must 20 liters in size . Important: Hazardous waste must not be left unattended or outside of collection times – this constitutes an administrative offense and endangers the environment and public health.
The mobile hazardous waste collection unit is staffed by qualified personnel. Disposal takes place directly on site – safely and free of charge for private households.
