Tenants and owners don't have to sit on their rubbish when the bin is full. We will tell you what options are available to you for waste disposal!
residual waste bags
Residual waste bags are ideal for the extra portion of waste that accumulates, for example, after a party or during a move. These residual waste bags may be placed next to the full bins and will be disposed of by the waste disposal service. But be careful: It is not permitted to place rubbish bags indiscriminately next to the bin. Because the residual waste bags mentioned are special specimens that are available in various sales outlets in the city for an extra fee. It is practical that the disposal fee is usually included in the price.
- Capacity: 70-100 liters
- Price: usually under 10 euros
A notice:
There are different versions of residual waste bags, so that the right model can be selected for every type of waste. There are residual waste bags as well as yellow bags and bags for organic waste.
waste plant
Larger amounts of waste can usually also be taken directly to the waste disposal facilities. However, the disposal is associated with fees that are based on the real tonnage price.
Larger dustbin - higher collection frequency
If the garbage can is regularly too full, it is worth trying to talk to the four tenants or the manager. Because he can order larger or additional garbage cans. But be careful: This will result in additional costs that the tenants will have to bear as part of the utility bill! The situation is different if the landlord requests a special emptying, because he has to bear these costs himself. Landowners are usually responsible for these steps themselves:
- Increase removal frequency
- also associated with higher costs!
bulky waste
If you want to dispose of your bulky waste, you should first make sure that the waste is actually bulky waste. This includes electrical and metal scrap and waste wood. Bulky waste, on the other hand, does not include small parts, construction site waste, special waste and mineral waste. Please note that the assignment may vary from municipality to municipality. It is therefore advisable to obtain this information from the responsible waste disposal company. There are a number of ways to dispose of bulky waste:
- Disposal at a recycling center
- Order municipal or private bulky waste collection
A notice:
The disposal of bulky waste is usually associated with additional costs!
trash compactor
Numerous specialist dealers now offer garbage compactors for home use. These should serve to press the garbage and accordingly reduce the volume. That sounds tempting at first glance, after all, the garbage cans would then be filled significantly more. However, there is a catch, because the use of these compactors is not allowed and can even be punished with severe fines of up to 50,000 euros. Many consumers are not aware of the reasons for this:
- Waste volume is reduced, but not the weight
- But barrels must not be too heavy
- Dump device on refuse truck cannot lift ton
- Garbage cannot be separated properly
What not to do
For many people it is tempting to simply put the excess rubbish next to the existing bins. However, this behavior has several disadvantages: On the one hand, this is not allowed and is even punished with fines. On the other hand, the excess waste is often not disposed of by the waste disposal service. The disposal of the garbage in someone else's bins is also not permitted and the landlord can even sue for an injunction!
